Pipe Data Through the Water: Stress Wave Communications Along Pipelines

Published:13 February 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Offshore pipelines are the most popular man-made infrastructures that can be found undersea. Empowered by stress wave communications, these massive pipeline networks can be potentially utilized to deliver information. In this paper, we build up a stress wave communication system along a ten feet steel pipe. The communication performances were tested undersea. Based on our testing data, the potentials of this new subsea communication technique are discussed.
