The Infrasound communicator uses very low frequency sound to transmit information. This works best in water and other fluid environments, where the range of the communicator is 500km or more. This makes an ideal communication system for underwater communities. The rate of data transmission is very low, limiting the system to a Telegraph like system or simple data communications.

There are versions that work by using ground or rock as a transmission medium, with equal good distance and data quality.
