R-Series
S2C R series of underwater acoustic modems provide full-duplex digital communication using the EvoLogics patented S2C (Sweep-Spread Carrier) Technology, delivering an excellent performance, resistant to the challenges of a dynamic subsea environment. Self-adaptive algorithms adjust the S2C parameters to maintain the highest bit rate possible in current conditions.
The S2C R 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.
Every S2C R Underwater Acoustic Modem was designed as a reliable tool to solve multiple communication tasks. It implements advanced data delivery algorithms, supports addressing and networking and is easy to control with a comprehensive set of commands and software-configurable settings.
R- Series Underwater Acoustic Modems
| Device | Application |
|---|---|
| S2C R 48/78 | High-speed device for short-range applications in shallow waters |
| S2C R 40/80 | High-speed device for medium-range applications in shallow waters, 70-degrees conical beam pattern optimal for vertical or slant channels |
| S2C R 18/34 | All-round performer for medium-range applications |
| S2C R 12/24 | Depth-rated device for medium- and long-range applications, low power consumption - best for long-term deployment, 70-degrees conical beam pattern optimal for vertical or slant channels |
| S2C R 7/17 | Depth-rated device for long-range applications, hemispherical beam pattern, low power consumption - best for long-term deployment |
Configuration Options
- Housing: Delrin (high-grade plastic), aluminium-magnesium alloy, stainless steel or titanium
- Interface: RS-232 (RS-485, RS-485 optional) and/or Ethernet
- Wake Up Module to save battery power: "wake up" the device only when needed.1
- External power supply or an internal rechargeable battery pack
- OEM versions available for easy integration
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.
