Kongsberg Inks First Deal for HUGIN Superior
standard EM 2040 mkII multibeam echo sounder along with the latest generation of sensors for sub bottom profiling, optical imaging, laser profiling, magnetic sensing and water turbidity sensing. All payload and navigation data are stored on a swappable network attached storage (NAS) device with 10 gigabit Ethernet connectivity for the fastest possible access to the data after the mission.A new feature introduced with the HUGIN Superior is the possibility to use the HISAS synthetic aperture sonar as a navigation aiding sensor to greatly improve the autonomous navigation performance. Developed in close
MacArtney: Custom EMO Multiplexer
the subsea survey and camera interfaces of the ROV. The DOMINO-7 MUX is a compact fibre optic system with a wide range of MUX channel and power supply configurations. Offering 3 videos with 10 bit data channels, the DOMINO design also offers 2 x industry standard multibeam ports, consisting of gigabit Ethernet (GBE) communications, coupled with 48 VDC supply voltage, all provided within the same connection. During the past couple of decades, MacArtney has built up a strong and versatile track record of supplying in-house developed and manufactured EMO and NEXUS multiplexers and

Forum Brings Multiplexer Technology to Rental Market
compact MacArtney DOMINO-7 Mk II multiplexer (MUX) can be installed on a range of work class ROVs. A fibre-optic system with a range of MUX channel and power supply configurations, it offers three videos with 10 bit data link in addition to two multi-beam ports, so that data can be communicated via a gigabit Ethernet link coupled with a 48 VDC supply voltage. It has additional power supply channels and can be re-configured effectively and quickly whilst ensuring that it is deployable with a range of power and protocols available. The small dimensions and low weight of the MacArtney NANO-MUX
Deepwater 4G LTE System Deployed off US
in the remote area of the Green Canyon field. Along with the LTE deployment, RigNet has increased the capacity of its wireless Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network threefold. The current capacity combined with peak aggregate speeds at RigNet’s five beach landing locations exceeding one gigabit of throughput. This additional capacity along the coast will fortify the already robust network to ensure that customer’s future capacity requirements and critical Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are fully satisfied. RigNet said its resilient wireless network is designed for the highest

Kraken Debuts New Sonar Platform KATFISH
. The system uses two rows of identical receiver elements to deliver bathymetry. An additional lower frequency transmit element, unique to KATFISH, provides a SAS resolution gap fill directly under the platform. Sonar data is transferred from the transceiver to the processing unit via a Gigabit Ethernet network interface. The sonar operation is controlled from a graphical user interface (GUI) on a notebook computer. The operator sets the sonar parameters in the sonar control window, while depth, imagery and other sensor data are captured and displayed by Kraken’s INSIGHT application
Adventure Under Ice
that went into Nereid, however, perhaps the most notable is the tethering system that uses a fiber optic cable just a few times thicker than a human hair. The tether carries high-definition video and navigational data back and forth to the mother ship at the speed of light. This cable provides a gigabit Ethernet data stream to the surface, as well as a high-definition video feed that will allow scientists to observe the under-ice world as never before and as close to firsthand as is presently possible. Nereid’s lightweight expendable tether enables it to have horizontal and vertical mobility
