R-Series USBL
EvoLogics S2CR USBL is a series of combined positioning and communication devices for a variety of subsea applications. Combining a powerful USBL positioning tool with full benefits of an S2C technology communication link, a S2CR USBL device is an efficient choice for application scenarios that demand space-, energy- and cost-saving solutions.
S2CR USBL devices provide accurate USBL tracking and full-duplex digital communication, delivering an excellent all-round performance. S2CR USBL devices implement advanced data delivery algorithms, support addressing and networking and are easy to control with a comprehensive set of commands and software-configurable settings.
Switching between positioning and communication modes is not necessary: positioning data is calculated simultaneously with acoustic transmissions. Both features complement each other in a fully integrated positioning and communication system.
The S2CR USBL series offers a selection of short- mid- and long-range devices for shallow or deep water applications. Each product is available in a variety of configurations to offer the best-fit solution for a particular scenario.

Unique applications might require additional customization.
EvoLogics experts are always ready to address any special requests.
1The Wake Up Module monitors both the RS-232 host interface and the acoustic channel and turns the device on when incoming signals are detected.
To reduce overall power consumption, the acoustic channel is monitored in an on/off toggle cycle of active and idle intervals.
