Harbor Protection
When others modems
start having problems due to...
!
• Shallow waters;
• Confined areas
• Multi-Path problems;
• Summer warm waters.

undersea acoustic modem
• Sielco-M01 undersea acoustic
telemetry modem;
!
• Specifically designed to provide
highly reliable high-speed data
transmission between slowly moving
terminals even in hostile underwater
acoustic environment;
!
• Peculiar for shallow-water multi-
path time-dispersive channels

11. www.edgelab.eu
• Bi-directional communications with underwater unmanned vehicles
• Underwater equipment remote control
• Safety transmission units for divers or wrecked platforms
• Ambient data collection from measuring sensors.
High transmission reliability achieved by
choosing an appropriate modulation
format (non-coherent multi-frequency
shift keying, or MF-FSK) introducing
redundancy in the multi-frequency data
stream by channel coding with different
coding schemes and rates.

redundance and remote controls
Preselected Level of Redundancy
Remotely Controlled or Varied Adaptively through a handshaking procedure which allows data
rates selection from less than few hundred bit/s up to 2400 bit/s
Equipped with a Remote Control Unit to ease deployment and on-site calibration
and recovery of the undersea terminal.
On/Off remote switch
Operational mode Toggle (modem, data logger)
Remote selection of modulation and coding parameters
(center frequency, bandwidth occupancy, coding rate)
