Services
Seabed Classification
Our RoxAnn systems enable precise seabed material analysis using hydro-acoustic sensors. These tools create real-time 2D/3D maps showing sediment composition, supporting hydrographic surveyors and commercial fishermen. By interpreting echosounder returns, our technology identifies seabed characteristics essential for resource management and infrastructure projects.
Emergency Communications
The Subcom 2000 system provides through-water voice communication for diver emergencies. This industry-standard solution operates independently of umbilicals, offering 3km range and 1000m depth capability. Its reliability in air and helium environments ensures critical safety for major diving operations worldwide.
Underwater Cameras
Hawkeye camera systems deliver high-quality underwater video for inspection tasks. With 26 models available, these cameras withstand extreme pressures and integrate with ROVs. They support infrastructure monitoring, marine research, and industrial inspections in challenging aquatic environments.
Sensor Multiplexers
Hermes multiplexers enable efficient sensor data transmission via single cables. Supporting eight channels at 230Kbit/s, these systems simplify ROV communications by bundling multiple sensor streams. Their 3000m depth rating and compatibility with third-party devices ensure versatile integration for subsea operations.
Soil Science Sensors
S4-DALIG sensors enhance soil property analysis for agricultural optimisation. These tools measure critical parameters to inform land management decisions. Their data supports sustainable farming practices by improving understanding of soil composition and moisture dynamics.
