The Subsea Wireless Group (SWiG) is a not-for-profit organization, established to promote interoperability for subsea wireless communications.

SWiG was formally known as the Subsea Radio Users Group (SRUG) but after substantial industry interest the members are working together to define standards that facilitate interoperability between users subsea wireless technologies (acoustic, radio frequency, free space optics, etc). SWiG will engage with relevant standards bodies, encourage the integration of wireless technologies, and promote best practices across the industry. The overall objectives of the group are to:

• Promote interoperability between users of through water communications
• To raise industry awareness and acceptance of through water communications
• Identify areas where standards need to be developed and develop them for the industry for through water communications
• Encourage the integration of through water communication technologies
• Promote best practices across the industry
• Promote knowledge transfer across the industry

SWiG provides a forum for new ideas to be shared, and for business connections to be made. Members will be ahead of industry trends, setting the agenda for others to follow.
