Key Features

1

Industry-Leading Hydrophone Array

An eight-channel, factory-calibrated hydrophone array enables beamforming, giving exceptional multipath rejection in poor conditions and higher accuracy measurements.

2

Dynamic Power and Signal Encoding

Automatically adjusts acoustic transmit power and signal encoding to the operating environment for improved reliability in difficult conditions.

3

Acoustic Heading

Transfers high-accuracy GNSS heading from the surface to an underwater unit, giving underwater systems accurate heading without a gyrocompass and with no susceptibility to magnetic interference.

4

Internal Speed of Sound Sensor

Measures the speed of sound through water directly, making the system self-tuning with no extra equipment or manual setup required.

5

Fully Integrated Miniature Enclosure

All processing happens inside a miniature titanium enclosure, connecting via a single ethernet connection with a web browser-based interface — no rack-mount units, interface boxes, or PCs required.

6

Acoustic Modem

Rapidly transmits third-party data via a TCP network port from one Subsonus unit to another.

7

Miniaturization

Modern high-end electronics and manufacturing techniques shrink the physical footprint without compromising performance; runs entirely on the transceiver's own processor.
