BlueView Imaging Sonar

The dual-frequency 900 kHz and 2250 kHz provide the most versatility of any 2D imaging sonar. The 900 kHz offers high resolution long range navigation, object detection, and obstacle avoidance, while the 2250 kHz provides ultra-high resolution at close range. ROV navigation, hull inspections, structure inspections, diver monitoring, and search and recovery are a few applications that benefit from the dual-frequency’s imaging capabilities.

RTK Radios

SATELLINE-EASy Pro is an IP67 classified UHF radio modem with a high power transmitter, a wide 70 MHz tuning range and selectable channel spacing. It is particularly well suited for outdoor use under varying weather conditions, e.g. land surveying. Due to the high transmitting power, connection distances of up to 80 kilometers can be covered.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Phantom 4 RTK

From the ground-up, revolutionizing its systems to achieve a new standard for drone accuracy – offering Phantom 4 RTK customers centimetre-accurate data while requiring fewer ground control points. With a built in-flight planning app (GS RTK) and an easy method to collect RTK data (RTK Network or D-RTK 2 Mobile Station), pilots have a full solution for any surveying, mapping or inspection workflow - right out of the box.

Phantom 4

The DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ V2.0 Drone not only excels at design, but also in technology. The sophisticated controller, which performs through a compatible radio transmitter, guarantees you an entirely comfortable piloting experience when flying the flying drone. The integrated obstacle detection feature will meanwhile check the areal terrain ahead of the camera to prevent the drone from getting damaged. Image stabilisation also balances out camera vibration at higher speeds. The exact positioning of the drone is guaranteed by the incorporated GPS. The drone weighs 1375 g and is suitable for personal use. Its operation is therefore not particularly limited by legislation, e.g. safe end-of-flight systems. The low weight makes it especially useful for filming walks in the country.
