Underwater Acoustic and Optical Modems Market Dynamics

The global underwater acoustic and optical modems market has experienced numerous innovations and disruptions during the historical period. In particular, the defense industry makes substantial use of underwater modem technologies. This technology has established a reputation for data and information transmission in several military applications in an underwater environment. Only a few applications include remote underwater monitoring, command and control, diver communications, and submarine communications.

Researchers also use underwater modems to gather, quantify and monitor pollutants. These modems help to monitor the operations of oil and gas companies to determine how much undersea pollution they are contributing. These monitoring systems aim to detect climate change and mitigate ocean pollution. New opportunities are made possible by the expanding significance of acoustic communication in underwater research projects and applications for environmental protection. Acoustic systems are anticipated to outperform existing infrastructure in the following areas: underwater earthquake and tsunami warning, underwater pollution monitoring, and underwater habitat monitoring.

Many R&Ds worldwide are investigating the possibility of fifth-generation (5G) networks for underwater acoustic and optical modem technology networking as the need for fifth-generation wireless data transfer rises. The benefits of electromagnetic wave propagation for signaling, navigation, sensing, and terrestrial communication have been considered in terms of high potential data connectivity with 5G. An underwater audio communication quality evaluation model based on surface vehicle experimental work and simulation is being created under 5G network bandwidths to improve the quality of the channel and signal transmission.

Segmental Analysis

How does the potential demand for Wi-Fi acoustic modems impact Underwater Acoustic and Optical Modems Market?

In Wi-Fi acoustic modems, data can be wirelessly sent over water in subsea applications. For minor projects, wireless data transport is far less expensive than pricey underwater cabling. Applications like locating and communicating with AUVs or ROVs use underwater acoustic modems.

Why <1 MHz as a frequency is seen as an attractive segment?

Underwater modems primarily operate at low frequencies, i.e. < 1 MHz which restricts the available channel bandwidth and, consequently, the symbol rate. Significant multipath and doppler effects in the low-frequency acoustic channel limit the receiver's ability to receive signals of high quality.

Regional Analysis 

During the forecast period, North America is expected to have the greatest share of the underwater acoustic communication market. Due to growing security concerns in these countries, the US and Canada are using unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) for various defense activities such as anti-submarine warfare, security, and surveillance. As a result, the market in North America is expected to increase due to the rising applicability of UUVs in the defense and commercial sectors. However, in the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to record the fastest growth rate. This is due to the rising presence and implementation of technology in the region.

Competitive Landscape

Key players in the global underwater acoustic and optical modems market are focusing on continuous product innovation and commercialization of modems. For instance, in 2020, Hydromea launched the advanced wireless underwater optical modem LUMA X. It is a new advanced wireless underwater optical modem. With a 120° cone, the LUMA X can beam data at up to 10 Mbit/s utilizing light. According to the company, this allows for real-time broadcasting of HD-quality video and 4K photos across the water, allowing operators of autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor their operations from control centers on land.

The underwater acoustic and optical modems market is seen as a consolidated market, backed by tier-1 players who account for more than 50% of the global revenue. However, the emergence of new players is expected to further result in market share distribution at the regional level. Prominent players in the market include Aquatec Group Ltd., BaltRobotics Sp.z.o.o., Dspcomm (Thailand), EvoLogics GmbH, Gavial Holdings, Inc., Hydroacoustics, Inc., Kongsberg Maritime, LinkQuest Inc., Mistral Security Inc., Nortek Security & Control LLC, Sonardyne International LTD, Teledyne Technologies Inc., Thales Group and Ultra Electronics Ocean Systems Inc.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

In 2020, COVID-19 triggered a global health and economic disaster. Transportation and industrial activity have also seen significant slowdowns due to this. Furthermore, marine traffic has decreased significantly. According to NPR, an American non-profit media company sponsored both privately and publicly; the COVID-19 pandemic has put a strain on the world economy, with a considerable drop in marine traffic. Therefore, there was a significant drop in demand for underwater acoustic and optical modems globally due to this.

Countries all across the world, however, are becoming heavily reliant on digital technologies to combat the crisis. Due to a variety of applications such as production telemetry and control, riser monitoring, pipeline monitoring, corrosion monitoring, and seismic event monitoring, the need for underwater modems has increased significantly since the pandemic.
