What kind of environments have LinkQuests acoustic modems been used in?
Quest’s underwater acoustic modems have been used very extensively in deepwater and costal oceans, bays, harbors, lakes and rivers all over the world. All models perform well in near-vertical and horizontal environments. These modems have been used extensively in horizontal environments for AUV command and control, remote control of undersea sensors and environmental monitoring. The UWM3000H and UWM2000H modems, tailored for long-range shallow and very-shallow water environments, perform particularly well in environments with very harsh multi-paths (acoustic signals reflected from surface, bottom and other boundaries). Field tests and customer deployments show these systems can achieve reliable communication with bit error rate of less than 10 in very shallow water, immune from the impact of very harsh multi-paths. Examples are communication in costal ocean up to 3000 meters of range at 5 meters of water depth using UWM3000H modems and communication in San Diego bay up to 1000 meters o
