RedNode

The RedNode navigator is part of the RedWave system. It was created specifically to determine the coordinates of underwater objects in water bodies of any complexity.

  • Requires no setup or calibration
  • Extremely simple integration with PCs and mapping devices — the protocol is the same as in standard GNSS receivers
  • Compact device — 64×62 mm
  • Transmits the object's 3D position in absolute geographic coordinates
  • Extremely low power consumption — 12 V, 75 mA
  • Interference protection even in shallow water

How RedNode works

The device receives hydroacoustic signals from RedBase buoys as part of the navigation system. The navigator determines the geographic coordinates of objects and transmits them to the robot's control system or via cable to the surface.

01

Simple to use

The device integrates extremely easily with virtually any underwater platform. Apply power — and get precise coordinates on every dive over the UART serial interface, with no additional setup or calibration!

02

Reliable operation even in difficult conditions

  • A special digital broadband communication technology protects against interference even in shallow water
  • Precise coordinates for any number of objects in any water area
  • You get object coordinates in 3D format with an update rate of 1 Hz.
