A FIRST IN WIRELESS UNDERWATER COMMUNICATIONS
Victoria, British Columbia - Dec. 12, 2002 - Dangerous underwater rescue operations around the world have become much safer for dive units using a unique underwater communication system develop, and unveiled today in Victoria, by Divelink International Technologies Inc.
The
Victoria-based hi-tech company's systems are favored by rescue divers because
theirs is the only system that allows divers to communicate without being
connected by wires and without having to operate awkward hand-held
units. The latest technology developed by Divelink is a special adaptor that
enables further communication using a cell phone. Not only can divers now
talk to other divers and someone on the surface, but also they can speak to
a person anywhere in the world.
"Our system is a natural fit for emergency response professionals as they need to communicate with a variety of sources during a rescue operation," says Pete Devine of Divelink.
The Divelink system is the only multi-channel underwater communication system and has a range of up to 2000 metres. The system gives divers voice contact with the surface and with each other through a hands-free microphone attached to the dive mask. The system works on a patented voice recognition chip, allowing dive teams to work more cooperatively.
Divelink's products have quickly become fundamental dive tools in the field of search and rescue, scientific data gathering, movie production, underwater photography, salvaging, weapon retrieval and diver instruction. It is a vast improvement on the old system which consisted of line pulls on a rope stretching from the diver to the surface.
The
company's client list includes the US Airforce, US Navy Seals, Japanese Coast
Guard, Malaysia Fire Brigade Search and Recovery Unit, Disney World, the Seattle
Aquarium, National Geographic Magazine, Saanich Police Department Dive Unit
and over 60 search and rescue dive teams in North America alone. One of their
latest clients is Florida State University where Divelink equipment will be
used for an underwater crime scene course.
DIVELINK UNVEILS NEW VERSION OF WIRELESS UNDERWATER COMMUNICATIONS
Victoria,
British Columbia - February 26, 2002- Divelink International
Technologies Inc., will unveil the newest version of it's wireless underwater
communications system at the Underwater Intervention Show in New
Orleans, running February 28 - March 2. As the next generation of wireless
underwater communications, Divelink® is a powerful dive tool, appropriate
for search and rescue, commercial and military applications as well as
sports diving and instructional use.
There
are 4 million divers in the world. The system is capturing the
attention of the diving industry. "I've been extremely satisfied with
the
performance of my units and I'd recommend Divelink to any recreational or
technical diver looking for a cost-effective high-performance solution to
underwater communications needs," says Pierce Hoover of Sport Diver Magazine.
As
the only completely hands-free system on the market, Divelink® allows
divers to communicate with one another and with surface personnel
unhindered by push-button menus or bulky equipment. The patented voice
recognition chip responds only to the human voice, ignoring bubble noise.
Since 1999, Divelink has been improving the capabilities of the system,
expanding the range from 1000 feet to 4,500 feet, making the equipment
easier to use and improving the ergonomic design.
As
the system is built around custom chip technology, Divelink® is well
adapted to meet the specialized needs of search and rescue dive teams.
Divelink's microphone is completely waterproof while withstanding pressure
differentials to depths of over 200 feet and is also equipped with an
emergency signal to alert other divers and the surface when a diver is in
distress. Divelink has models that fit any full face mask. For the half
mask the mouthpiece is a patented silicon rubber speaking cavity that
doesn't require any straps.
Divelink
is working closely with a number of police and fire department
dive teams around the world to customize the system to their specialized
needs.
The
new Divelink® system can be seen at Divelink's booth #826 at the
Underwater Intervention Show, New Orleans, February 28 - March 2.
