Listen to the operation
Start with the people, the environment and the task. Different teams need different ways to use position information.
About UWIS / Finland
A REAL NEED.
A FINNISH IDEA.
UWIS began with a practical question: how can a diver know where they are, and search an area systematically?
Our starting point
DEVELOPED FROM
THE FIELD.
On Utö in the mid-1990s, inventor Esko Jukkala saw rescue divers working in murky water with a guideline. That experience planted the idea for a better underwater positioning system.
Founded in 2014, UWIS Oy develops underwater positioning, navigation and communication systems.
