S2C R 12/24 USBL communication and positioning device
S2C R 12/24 USBL with a directional (70 degrees) beam pattern is a universal tool for tracking and communication vertical and slant channels, providing data transfer rates up to 9,2 kbit/s over a 6000 m range.
S2C R USBL devices with a built-in ultra-short baseline antenna enable tracking simultaneously with full-duplex digital communication, delivering an excellent all-round performance as USBL transceivers.
Switching between positioning and communication modes is not necessary: positioning data is calculated simultaneously with acoustic transmissions. Both features complement each other in a fully integrated system.
Depth rated
Depth rated device for long-range data transfers
Highly Configurable
Multiple configuration options and extra modules available to best-fit the particular application scenario
Directivity pattern
The beam pattern is optimal for transmissions in vertical and slant channels

[1] Slant range estimation is based on the measured time delay, slant range accuracy depends on sound velocity profile, refraction and signal-to-noise ratio
[2] See the S2CR 48/78 USBL Product Information for available standard interface combinations.
[3] User-configurable Listen Mode is only available with a Wake-Up module installed. Power consumption in Listen Mode depends on Listen Mode settings.
[4] Power consumption for the RS-232 interface option. Add 500 mW for the Ethernet interface option.
