Arrangement for controlling and/or monitoring at least one subsea device, the arrangement comprising:
- a first level node electrically or fiberoptically connectable to an equipment above a sea surface of a sea for communications with the equipment;
- and
- at least one second level node electrically or fiberoptically, connected to the first level node and electrically connectable to the at least one subsea device,
- wherein the first level node and the at least one second level node are configured for arrangement at a sea bottom of the sea.
Method for controlling and/or monitoring at least one subsea device, the method comprising:
- communicating at least one of controlling data and monitoring data between at least one second level node and the at least one subsea device, wherein the at least one second level node is arranged at a sea bottom of a sea;
- and
- communicating the at least one of controlling data and monitoring data between the at least one second level node and a first level node, wherein the first level node is connectable to an equipment above a sea surface of the sea and wherein the first level node and the at least one second level node are electrically fiberoptically connected.
