Water Linked

Water Linked develops underwater sensor technology for divers and underwater vehicles, focused on helping users explore, navigate, and communicate more confidently below the surface. The company creates products from scratch and solves fundamental problems in subsea navigation, using innovative product design to provide reliable and affordable technology for the underwater industry. Its mission is to enable autonomy and spatial awareness underwater, and its products support underwater communication and positioning as well as sensing. The business is organised around several product areas: 3D sonar, DVL, underwater GPS, and acoustic modem technology. Those products serve a broad set of customers and industries, including public authorities, search and rescue, defense, science and academia, aquaculture, underwater robotics, energy, and commercial diving. Its products are used globally, in over 50 countries, and its customer base takes in ROV and AUV manufacturers, universities, aquaculture operators, oil and gas companies, and other subsea users. Support and customer assistance form a significant part of the offering, including technical documentation, ticket creation, a customer portal, a knowledge base, and an expert support pack, so users can get help with a system rather than being left alone with the hardware. Some offerings take a ready-to-deploy approach, among them the Sonar 3D-15 System, a complete field-ready package for rapid deployment in offshore, marine survey, inspection, and subsea operations, supplied as a finished system rather than as a component to be integrated by the buyer. The company's distinctive position comes from its combination of compact design, real-time underwater sensing, and solutions built to be easy to deploy in demanding marine environments. Across its product areas the common thread is the same: positioning, navigation, communication, and sensing capability packaged for divers, remotely operated vehicles, and autonomous vehicles that have to work with spatial awareness underwater, in settings that range from a search and rescue callout to an aquaculture pen, a research project, or an energy asset.
