6G® transponders and transceivers use Sonardyne Wideband® 2 ultra-wide bandwidth
signals giving a faster and robust transmission of data, more precise ranging and mitigation
from multipath in shallow water and amongst steel structures in deep-water.
Sonardyne
Wideband

Telemetry protocol available with 6G+ devices that enables sensor data to be embedded in
navigation range replies.

Line Positioning
System (USBL\)
A system similar to an SBL system except the system uses three or more elements in a
single transducer array. The measurements it makes are the differences in “time-phase” of
the signals from each element. The co-ordinate frame is fixed to the transducer array which
must be oriented in the vessel frame to be equivalent to the SBL.
WLL
Working Load Limit. The Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum recommended working
load. This is set as a maximum 25% of the Breaking Load and allows for factors such as
corrosion, fatigue, shock loads, harmonic loads, manufacturing defects and material
defects. This does not account for extreme offshore service conditions.
