WNC-L12LSO4
Silver Edition OEM Configuration Modem
Offering communication ranges exceeding 10 km and up to 8 kbps of data rate, the L12L series of acoustic smart modems are designed for long-range subsea wireless communications in challenging environments. With features like an ultra-low power deep sleep state consuming less than 1 mW, precise localization and ranging, and arbitrary waveform transmission and recording capabilities, these modems are optimized for high-efficiency underwater operations.
Applications
- Long-range operations in shallow waters
- Communication and tracking of AUVs
- Coastal area networks
- Long term monitoring of subsea sensors and networks
Key Features
- More than 10 km communication range in tropical waters*.
- Up to 8 kbps data rate*.
- Support for NATO JANUS standard
- Ranging functionality with 0.1 m precision.
- Doppler resilience of ±4 knots or better.
- Support for coherent and incoherent communication schemes.
- Support for arbitrary signal transmission as well as recording (passband, baseband).
- Support for user defined communication schemes using UnetStack.
* Depending on channel conditions and reliability requirements.
OEM Configuration
The OEM configuration (OC) streamlines integration and enhances adaptability, rendering it an ideal choice for seamless integration into subsea platforms like AUVs, ROVs, and sensor systems. Furthermore, it offers a pressure hull option specifically designed for free-flooded platforms, ensuring comprehensive compatibility across diverse marine environments.
