Australia’s national marine research institute needed rugged optical modules for harsh coastal/open-sea environments (high salt spray, humidity, vibration). 100Glight’s military-grade solution delivered stable 60km long-haul transmission, 100% data integrity on mobile research vessels, and 11+ months of failure-free operation in extreme conditions.
Client Background
Australia's national-level marine scientific research institution oversees deep-sea exploration, marine climate monitoring, coral reef conservation, and other research projects, establishing multiple research monitoring stations along coastal, open-sea, and deep-sea areas. Data requires real-time transmission back to the domestic research center. Located in high-humidity, high-salt spray, and strong wind-wave coastal environments, research sites faced frequent corrosion and signal interruptions with commercial optical modules, resulting in severe deep-sea monitoring data loss. Stable network connectivity was also required during research vessel movements. The institution urgently needed a military-grade, wide-temperature, corrosion-resistant optical module solution to ensure stable full-process transmission of research data.
Core Challenges
- Extreme Marine Environment: High humidity, high salt spray, and alternating high and low temperatures caused easy corrosion and aging of ordinary optical modules, leading to extremely high failure rates.
- Mobile Transmission Demand: Dynamic movement of research vessels required stable network connectivity without interruptions or data loss.
- Long-Haul Data Backhaul: Open-sea research stations are over 60km from the mainland, requiring stable long-haul transmission with zero signal attenuation.
- High Data Security: Classified research data required anti-interference and anti-eavesdropping protection to ensure transmission security.
100Glight Solution
100Glight customized a military-grade corrosion-resistant optical interconnection solution for marine scientific research, developed exclusively for extreme marine environments, with core products including:
- Industrial-Grade 100G QSFP28 ER4 Wide-Temperature Optical Transceiver: 60km long-haul transmission, wide-temperature tolerance from -40℃ to 85℃
- 400G QSFP-DD LR4 Corrosion-Resistant Optical Transceiver: High-speed core link backhaul, with a three-proof coating (moisture-proof, salt-spray-proof, corrosion-proof) on the shell
The products pass military-grade environmental tests, featuring superior moisture, salt-spray, and vibration resistance to adapt to extreme conditions at research stations and vessels. A built-in encrypted transmission module prevents eavesdropping and leakage of research data; dynamic link compensation ensures stable signal during mobile operations. The DDM remote monitoring function enables real-time tracking of open-sea research link status.
Deployment & Implementation
The 100Glight technical team completed on-site deployment aboard research vessels, conducting scenario-specific debugging and link parameter optimization for coastal stations, open-sea stations, and mobile research vessels. All modules were securely installed to withstand wind and wave vibrations. Salt spray, high-low temperature, and vibration simulation tests were conducted pre-deployment to ensure product adaptation to marine environments. Long-term warranty and remote technical support were provided to reduce O&M difficulties at remote research sites.
Project Results
- Superior corrosion resistance and wide-temperature performance, with 11 consecutive months of stable operation in extreme marine environments, zero corrosion, zero aging, and zero failures.
- Zero network interruptions during research vessel movement, real-time backhaul of deep-sea monitoring data, and 100% data integrity.
- 60km long-haul transmission with zero signal attenuation, 3x faster research data backhaul, and greatly improved scientific data collection efficiency.
- Encrypted transmission ensures data security, passing classified research project audits and supporting the achievement of multiple marine scientific research results.
Client Testimonial
“The marine scientific research environment is far harsher than ordinary scenarios, and 100Glight's military-grade optical modules have withstood multiple tests of high salt spray, wide temperature, and vibration, delivering stable and secure data transmission. The highly targeted solution perfectly fits our research needs, providing solid network support for marine scientific research projects.”
