Introducing Canopus, a refined transponder designed for long BaseLine (LBL) and sparse LBL positioning, as well as acoustic communication. This device can be deployed on the ocean floor or attached to underwater vehicles, boasting remarkably low energy consumption and an extended operational lifespan.

Key Features

• Operational Modes: Long BaseLine positioning, ASBL Sparse Array positioning, and Acoustic Communication
• Integrated User Interface (MMI)
• Depth Capability: Rated for 4,000 meters (with an optional 6,000 meters)
• Compatibility: Works seamlessly with gaps and Posidonia (USBL), Ramses (LBL and ASBL), and Exail INS
• Standard Environmental Sensors: Includes pressure, temperature, and inclinometer sensors

Advantages

• Energy-efficient design
• Listening duration exceeds 5 years (using Alkaline batteries)
• operational capacity of 1,600,000 pings at peak sound levels (Alkaline)
• Offers several hundred distinct wideband addresses and codes
• Utilizes a medium frequency band with an omnidirectional transducer head
