Using real-time 3D seafloor mapping, the new W3P offers updated WASSP multibeam features in a compact and portable single housing with wireless communication between tender and mothership. W3P provides the convenience of a complete \u201call in one\u201d system, allowing the technology to be quickly and easily deployed on a wide range of vessels and applications while delivering the high-quality mapping data of the original W3 fixed-mount system.<\/p>\n
The WMBG3W3 \u201cWireless WASSP\u201d enables tenders to map the bottom ahead of the mothership with the bathymetric image appearing on both vessels simultaneously. This merger of cutting-edge wireless technologies with WASSP W3\u2019s peerless mapping capabilities meets the demand for a portable mapping solution suitable for existing tenders. The W3P solution includes a transducer, processor, transmitter, position sensors, WiFi, and a convenient bracket-mounted pole in a self-contained and easily deployed package. W3P requires only a power connection to provides real-time 3D bathymetry mapping of the seafloor, which can be transmitted wirelessly from the tender to a mothership at distances up to 2 nautical miles.<\/p>\n
“These new W3P solutions offer unparalleled navigation security to an ever-expanding range of customers,” said WASSP Product Manager, Nick Fogarty. \u201cFeedback from our customers and dealers demonstrated the need for an all-in-one solution that was simple to set up and use across a variety of vessels. The ability to install the product and start mapping remote destinations safely in a matter of minutes was our goal, and we have achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n
WASSP Multibeam was developed by ENL Group in New Zealand. Founded in 1945, ENL is a subsidiary of Furuno Electric Company and has a strong R&D focus in the field of Multibeam Sonar.<\/p>\n
