Abstract
A technique facilitates communication in a subsea well application. The technique involves deployment of a blowout preventer subsea control and telemetry system to a subsea location proximate a wellbore. The blowout preventer subsea control and telemetry system is coupled to both a blowout preventer system and a wireless telemetry system. The wireless telemetry system has a plurality of repeaters deployed along the wellbore. The blowout preventer subsea control and telemetry system is used both to collect data from the wireless telemetry system and to control operation of the blowout preventer system. For example, the blowout preventer subsea control and telemetry system may receive control signals from a surface system and also relay data to the surface system through a common communication line.
