S2CR 8/16 Acoustic Modem

Underwater Acoustic Modem S2C R 8/16

S2C R 8/16 Acoustic Modem

S2C R 8/16 acoustic modem provides for data transmission working range of 8000 meters and is capable of reaching a range of 10000 meters depending on the acoustic conditions. Its spherical transducer beam pattern increases the versatility in terms of application.

Ideal Application

  • Very long range data transmission
  • Can be combined with USBL module to provide accurate and reliable positioning and tracking along with data transmission for deep water ROVs and AUVs
  • Acoustic data network
