Ranger for rent

摘要

GSE Rentals of Aberdeen, UK, has added a Sonardyne, UK, Ranger 2 ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning system to its equipment inventory, becoming the first rental company to purchase the new system. GSE anticipates that the system will be in high demand for survey operations in the North Sea and elsewhere. Ranger 2 is designed for deepwater, long-range tracking of underwater targets such as ROVs and also for position referencing for dynamically positioned vessels. The system builds on Sonardyne's popular Ranger 1 system but adds support for the company's latest sixth generation (6G) acoustic instruments and Wideband 2 signal architecture. "These technologies offer precise acoustic ranging, fast data telemetry and hardware that is easier to set up and operate even in the most challenging subsea operating environments," said Sonardyne.
