Exail and Kongsberg Discovery: A New Era in Long Baseline Positioning Solutions
The partnership between Exail and Kongsberg Discovery has reached a pivotal point in the realm of Long Baseline (LBL) subsea positioning technologies.
Milestone achievement in Compatibility
As of June 2023, the integration of Kongsberg’s cPAP LBL transceiver with Exail’s Ramses LBL transceiver has been fully realized, representing a groundbreaking development in the LBL positioning sector. This synergy equips users with enhanced tools too refine underwater operations, achieving unmatched accuracy in navigation.
Seamless Integration for Enhanced Operations
The newly established compatibility allows Exail’s Ramses system to directly manage Kongsberg’s cPAP transceiver, facilitating the effortless combination of both technologies on a single subsea vehicle. This integration unlocks sophisticated LBL functionalities, providing important advantages to clients already utilizing Kongsberg’s HiPAP and cNODE transponders. With the incorporation of Exail’s Inertial Navigation System (INS) technology, vehicles can now navigate effectively within a network of cNODE transponders, greatly enhancing operational flexibility, especially in the oil and gas industry where LBL positioning is crucial.
Expert Insights on the Collaboration
“Our teams have engaged in extensive engineering collaboration to ensure seamless data interchange between our systems, resulting in operational flexibility that saves costs,” stated Pierre-Yves Morvan, Business Development Manager at Exail. “This compatibility achievement highlights the commitment and expertise of both organizations in pushing technological boundaries for our clients’ benefit.”
Future Prospects and Innovations
exail and Kongsberg discovery are actively pursuing additional collaborative ventures. Their joint efforts are focused on introducing cutting-edge features and innovative solutions to the LBL positioning landscape, ultimately enhancing customer capabilities and operational efficiency in underwater tasks.
