Company context
Unplugged develops industrial inductive power and high-speed data interfaces for subsea equipment. Its sealed modules span low-power sensors through multi-kilowatt robotic charging, while wireless swivels and docking interfaces remove exposed contacts and mechanical wear. Based in Kristiansand, the company’s technology has powered resident underwater drones and is now being extended from offshore energy into long-endurance defence AUV operations.
