Abstract

A method of wireless communication with a downhole assembly in absence of pressure pulse or hard wired communications. Tools and techniques for achieving such wireless communications are directed fluid-flow communication which may be utilized in circumstances where a completions assembly is open to the well in a pressure sense. Notably, a trigger is included with detection equipment which may be utilized to detect fluid-flow generated by surface equipment. In certain embodiments, such equipment may even be mounted exterior of completions equipment tubing through which fluid-flow communication is directed. Thus, wireless downhole communication capacity may even be provided without the need for obstructing tubing with such detection equipment.
