When CSignum set out to develop the EM-2, a groundbreaking subsea wireless device, they faced a challenge familiar to many technology manufacturers: how to protect sensitive electronics in an unforgiving environment without going back to the drawing board.
Instead of a costly redesign, CSignum worked with Intertronics to find a practical solution. With advice from Ian Mann and the rest of our team, and the use of IRS 3071 Polyurethane Potting Compound, CSignum overcame structural challenges, avoided lengthy delays, and fast-tracked certification. Today, the EM-2 is enabling reliable underwater communication for applications like environmental monitoring and offshore renewables — all while providing a safe alternative to cabled or acoustic transmission.
Kyle Watson, Mechanical Engineer at CSignum: “Intertronics have been very helpful and responsive throughout this entire process. Intertronics’ materials and expertise enabled the EM-2 to become a market-ready, certified product.”
This collaboration shows what can be achieved when technical expertise meets innovative engineering. Read the full case study.
