  • A RedBase set forms a navigation base over an area of 700 by 700 m
  • Works for 24 hours without recharging!
  • Extremely easy to use: switch on before work and switch off afterwards, no setup or calibration required
  • Operates at temperatures from -2 to +50 °C
  • Compact: the buoy measures just 15 by 60 cm, yet remains visible from a distance

RedBase — the foundation of the RedWave system

The key advantage of a navigation base built on RedBase is ease of use. Even if this is your first time using such a device, you will easily deploy the system in any water area without prior training. Simply place 4 buoys in a rectangle, 30 to 700 m apart, and the floating navigation base is ready to use — with no limit on the number of connected objects!

RedBase works equally well for surveying bodies of water of any size, including shallow water.

01

Unique features of a system built on the RedBase navigation buoy

Interference-resistant technology

The entire system uses reliable, interference-resistant broadband hydroacoustic communication technology. This guarantees high signal quality and accuracy without interference, even under difficult conditions in shallow water.

Simple and reliable operation

No prior setup or calibration required. The device is so easy to use that one person can deploy the whole system. A small single-seat boat is enough to lower the buoys into the water, and one person is enough to switch them on. The device is ready to work immediately!

Efficiency

Just 4 RedBase buoys are enough to create a floating navigation base and simultaneously position an unlimited number of divers or robots.

02

How to buy the RedBase navigation buoy

RedBase can be purchased as part of the RedWave system, in sets of 4. In addition, for registered users we supply buoys as replacements in case of loss or damage. Depending on your tasks, the system will be equipped with RedNode and/or RedNav units.
