Underwater Acoustic Modems
Smart Subsea Solutions - Advanced underwater communication and positioning technology since 2000.
EvoLogics underwater acoustic modems provide full-duplex digital communication using the patented S2C (Sweep-Spread Carrier) technology, delivering an excellent performance, resistant to the challenges of a dynamic subsea environment.
Self-adaptive algorithms adjust the S2C parameters to maintain the highest bit rate possible in current conditions.
​
The spread-spectrum S2C communication technology stems from bionic concepts and over the years evolved into an entire ecosystem of products.
​
EvoLogics modems implement advanced data delivery algorithms, support several data management options, are capable of addressing and networking and are easy to control with a comprehensive set of commands and software-configurable settings.

R-Series
S2C R “standard” build modems are highly configurable. The series features a large selection of short- mid- and long-range devices for shallow or deep water applications.
​
S2C R modems offer the widest selection of options and depth ratings to find an exact match to most unique and application-specific tasks


M-series modems feature several popular transducers in high- and mid-frequency range, as well as a unique high-frequency transducer for fast short-distance transmissions.

The S2C T-series form factor is available for high frequency models, catering to various applications with 4 frequency range/directivity options.
M-Series "Mini Modems"
S2C M-series offers the full benefits of the S2C technology in a light and compact design, targeting size- and weight-sensitive applications.
T-Series "Tiny Modems"
The newest light and ultra-compact design represents a size reduction of almost 20% compared to mini-modems.

OEM Version Modems
For vehicle/platform integration
​
All EvoLogics S2C Underwater Acoustic Modems and Positioning Systems are available in OEM configuration without housing, ideal in cases where minimal size and weight are critical.
​
OEM devices feature standard S2C electronics and a cable-mounted transducer, carefully matched to the analog front end unit for best performance.
These systems are ideal for integration into your own products and equipment, such as:
-
AUVs and ROVs
-
Integrated sensors
-
Surface buoys
OEM devices can be configured with most of options and modules available with standard S2C devices.
Beacons
Modems w/integrated float collars
​
Any S2C R underwater acoustic modem can be configured as an S2C beacon - a compact battery-powered device with built-in acoustic release mechanism and floatation collar.
​
With EvoLogics' patented S2C technology, the beacon is a great communication and positioning performer, optimized for short- and mid- term deployment and easy recovery back to the surface.
As a transponder for LBL or USBL positioning, an underwater communication network or relay chain node, the S2C beacon can benefit applications including:
​
-
Transponder for LBL and USBL positioning
-
Autonomous relay station
-
Autonomous underwater network node
Mounting Frames
For mounting and protecting SC2 devices
​
For proper mounting of S2C devices and protect them when operating in harsh environments.
​
EvoLogics S2C mounting frames protect internal electronic components against mechanical damage due to shocks, strong vibration, abrasions, etc.
​
Standard mounting frames are compatible with: all S2CR modems and many USBL modems. Custom designs also available, please contact us for more information.
​
S2C Acoustic Release
For deploying and recovering underwater assets
​
Compatible with selected EvoLogics S2C devices, the Acoustic Release module uses acoustic signals to trigger the Acoustic Release to drop the attached weight, deploy sensors at desired location, operate a mechanism, or recover underwater equipment.
After receiving a special acoustic trigger from a remote S2C device, the module opens the lock and releases the shackle or frame
with the asset attached. Based on a hydraulic system, the powerful opening mechanism offers great durability with its reliable construction.
​
-
Individually addressable
-
Light, compact and efficient pressure neutral mechanism
-
Durable construction suitable for long-term and short-term deployments.
