Depth of Measurement | |
Position | - Multi-constellation GNSS receiver supports GPS and other GNSS constellations depending on receiver configuration.
- GNSS acquisition windows are optimized for low-power operation and may be extended upon request to improve fix reliability or enable augmentation features where available, with a corresponding reduction in battery life.
|
Telemetry | - Iridium SBD with Iridium 9602 Modem
- Globalstar Satellite, Smartone C (optional)
|
Standard Status Sensors | - Battery Voltage
- GNSS Position
- Position Quality
- Drifter-deployed-in-conductive-water or drogue-on sensor
|
Standard Battery Pack | - 12 V; 8S2P alkaline C cells; estimated 15 Ah capacity
|
Optional Status Sensors | - Internal Surface Sphere Temperature
|
Optional Sensors | - Sea Surface Temperature (SST)
- High Accuracy SST
|
Battery Lifespan | - Operating life: 1-24 months with standard 15 Ah battery pack, depending on sampling/transmission rate and field conditions. Harsh weather or rough seas can increase GPS acquisition time and transmission retries, reducing battery life.
|
Deployment Options | - Manually from vessel, oil platform etc.
- Aircraft deployment option available
