Abstract
Drilling communication systems employ a Wi-Fi wet connect to communicate information from one downhole subsystem to another. In some implementations, the subsystems are disposed within drilling callers making-up a bottom hole assembly (BHA). The Wi-Fi wet connect may communicate information obtained by a first downhole subsystem for storing or transmission by the second downhole subsystem.
