iCB-7500
Overview
Introducing the Iridium Combo Beacon (iCB-7500), a versatile and robust solution for both expected and unexpected asset recoveries in oceanographic research. This self-contained submersible beacon is ingeniously designed to assist in the precise location and recovery of underwater equipment, combining the advanced functionalities of an Iridium/GPS Satellite with an LED Flasher.
The iCB-7500 is equipped with a configurable white LED Flasher, integrated within the head assembly, making it a vital tool for visually spotting assets under challenging conditions, including rough seas and nighttime operations. Its state-of-the-art design caters to long-term ocean deployments, up to four years submerged. Upon surfacing, the beacon can flash for over two weeks.
With an integrated conductivity sensor, the iCB-7500 automatically activates upon surfacing. This beacon, visible from up to five nautical miles away and submersible to 7,500 meters, is an indispensable asset for marine professionals seeking dependability and precision in their oceanographic missions.
Trust in the iCB-7500 for comprehensive and efficient asset recovery in your oceanographic endeavors. For more information or to request a quote, contact us today. Equip your team with the iCB-7500 and experience reliability and innovation in underwater asset tracking.
