Compatt 5

Faster set up and calibration, greater equipment utilisation and reduced risk. These are just some of the cost saving benefits of the latest range of Wideband Compatt 5 transponders from Sonardyne.

 

 

                                        

 

All Medium Frequency Compatt 5s now incorporate Fusion Wideband Technology which uses advanced digital signaling techniques to dramatically improve the performance of acoustic positioning, navigation and telemetry systems.

Over the last two years, Fusion Wideband Technology has been validated in an extreme range of operational environments. This has confirmed that the faster and more rugged wideband signals, now supported by Compatt 5, provide the highest accuracy and therefore the lowest risk for all subsea acoustic positioning tasks, regardless of water depth.

Through-life costs are reduced by greater flexibility in the utilisation of the transponders in different system configurations and for different applications. In addition, true multi-operation capability enables cost savings through more efficient use of subsea arrays.
