TrackLink USBL Acoustic Tracking Systems
USBL acoustic tracking systems with integrated high-speed acoustic communication, ranges up to 11000 meters.
Description
TrackLink systems combine USBL (ultra-short baseline) tracking with LinkQuest's high-speed acoustic modems. Tracking and communication share electronics and transducer, cutting size, weight and power and eliminating acoustic interference. BASS technology gives strong rejection of multipath and ship noise. Introduced in early 2002, TrackLink is described by LinkQuest as the world's best-selling USBL tracking system.
