System description
cNODE is a family of transponders for underwater positioning and data links, and
operates with HiPAP, HPR and cPAP transceivers. cNODE is designed to be a very
versatile system with many interchangeable parts.
The transponders are
operated from Acoustic
Position Operator
Station (APOS) with
an acoustic telemetry
link for command and
data transfer. cNODE
is compatible with
both Cymbal protocol
for positioning and
data link and FSK
channels and telemetry.
They have responder
and transponder
functionality, SSBL and
LBL positioning, and
telemetry capabilities.
The transponders are rated to 4000 m with a housing made of coated anodised aluminium
or stainless steel. The transponders are designed with a modular construction which
means that the transducer, transponder electronics, battery pack and optional add-on’s
can be replaced individually to suit the operation.
The transponder may be secured to a subsea structure using mounting brackets, or fitted
with an anchor weight and floating collar for operation on the open seabed.
Naming description
The transponder name consists of the model name, the model number, the transducer
beam width and any options included.
