Underwater acoustic communication refers to transmitting information or data through sound waves in an aquatic environment. It is a method of communication specifically designed for use in water, where traditional radio waves or electromagnetic signals are ineffective due to their limited propagation capabilities. The main interface platforms of underwater acoustic communication are the sensor interface, acoustic modem, and others. A sensor interface refers to the connection and communication interface between a sensor and a system or device that processes the sensor's data that enables the transfer of information from the sensor to the system, allowing the system to collect, interpret, and utilize the sensor data for various purposes. It can be operated at shallow water, medium water, long water, and full ocean communication depths for environmental monitoring, pollution monitoring, climate recording, hydrography, oceanography, and others. It is used by oil and gas, military and defense, scientific research and development, homeland security, marine end-users The global underwater acoustic communication market is segmented - 1) By Interface Platform: Sensor Interface, Acoustic Modem, Other Interface Platforms 2) By Communication Depth: Shallow Water, Medium Water, Long Water, Full Ocean 3) By Application: Environmental Monitoring, Pollution Monitoring, Climate Recording, Hydrography, Oceanography, Other Applications 4) By End-User: Oil And Gas, Military And Defense, Scientific Research And Development, Homeland Security, Marine The global underwater acoustic communication market size is expected to grow from $1.90 billion in 2022 to $2.15 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%.
