First-class performance at all depths
The compact 101G MiniPod is ideal for smaller platforms where size, weight and limited mounting options are critical factors. Depth rated to 50m, it can be safely installed close to the water surface and transmit its position to a mother vessel over a range of up to 2km. The 103G MiniPod and 106G MiniPod models are depth rated to 1000m and 6000m respectively, making them the perfect partner for deep-water work class ROVs and AUVs.
The 200 Series MiniPod range features lightweight and rugged Tri-band GNSS receivers that offer various configuration options. These receivers can be utilized in RTK base, RTK rover, and RTK moving base solutions, allowing multiple MiniPods to operate simultaneously. Additionally, external sensor data can be integrated into the wireless protocol.
The 200 series is shock-rated for assembly to withstand up to 75G, ensuring durability in harsh conditions such as rock cutting and cable trenching.
