UAM series
Underwater Acoustic Modems (UAMs)
The UAM (Underwater Acoustic Modem) series offers reliable and efficient underwater communication solutions across a wide range of distances and applications.
Designed for integration in AUVs, UUVs, gliders, buoys, and seabed platforms, the UAM family is available in three performance tiers to meet diverse operational needs:
- UAM-16320X Series — Up to 3 km range / 16–32 kHz / 4 kbps
- UAM-08160X Series — Up to 10 km range / 8–16 kHz / 4 kbps
- UAM-04080X Series — Up to 30 km range / 4–8 kHz / 1 kbps
Each model combines advanced acoustic signal processing with flexible configuration options, providing stable communication performance for both shallow and deep-sea environments.
