Short-hop Wireless Transceiver
Home / Well Intervention/Tiny Acoustic Gizmo
The Tiny Acoustic Gizmo (TAG) is the simplest and most versatile 2-way, short-hop communication device. The smallest TAG has only a ¾” diameter and runs on off-the-shelf batteries. TAG can communicate up to 150m through solid or liquid media (think Bluetooth through steel). Multiple TAGs can be configured as repeaters to extend the range to several kilometers. Wireless communication eliminates the potential leaks from the high-pressure, feed-throughs needed for wired sensors in pipe and tanks or across complex downhole completions. You can send commands or collect sensor data virtually anywhere with surface integration to SCADA systems or integration with a downhole wireline modem.
Features:
- Simple interface allowing multi-unit setup in minutes and quick data download
- Plug-and-play: 3-click audible confirmation when unit starts
- 8,000,000 sample memory
- 2-way communication
- Repeaters for added range
- Slim ¾” design
- Low power consumption (months on AA battery power, years with DD batteries)
- Harsh environments (15,000 psi, 177oC)
- Optional quartz temperature and pressure sensor for market-leading accuracy and low drift
