42/65
communication and positioning devices
The 42/65 underwater acoustic modems and USBL transceivers with a wide-angle (100 degrees) transducer beam pattern are high-speed devices for effective transmissions in reverberant waters, providing data transfer rates up to 31.2 kbit/s over a 2000 m range (in favorable conditions).
The wide-angle beam pattern is optimal for vertical, slant, as well as horizontal transfers.
High operating frequency ensures great performance even in noisy environments.
The applications include:
-
Short- and mid-range operations in vertical, slant and horizontal channels
-
High speed communication tasks
-
Data link and positioning for AUVs and ROVs
-
Underwater acoustic sensor networks
42/65 models are available in the following product lines:
-
S2C R - highly configurable standard build, optionally as OEM without housing
-
S2C M - light and compact build for popular tasks, optionally as OEM without housing
-
S2C T - ultra-light and compact build for space-critical tasks, optionally as OEM without housing
-
