S2CR 40/80 Acoustic Modem

Underwater Acoustic Modem S2C R 40/80 high speed


S2C R 40/80 Acoustic Modem

S2C R 40/80 acoustic modem provides the fastest data rate of up to 33 kbit/sec over a working range of 2000 meters. With a 70 degree directional beam pattern, it can be used in underwater observation systems in shallow and deep waters.

Ideal application

  • Data transmission over short and medium range
  • High data rate applications, in fixed orientation
  • Combined with USBL module, can provide accurate and reliable positioning for risers in offshore oil and gas industry and other subsea deployments
