M6000

The M6000 Underwater Acoustic Modem is a rugged underwater acoustic modem platform designed for reliable communication and scientific data acquisition in the most demanding subsea environments. Housed in a machined titanium enclosure and built for deep-ocean operation, the M6000 is ideal for long-duration deployments, deep-water vehicles, moorings, and research systems requiring maximum durability and performance.

M6000 Features:

• Durable Titanium Housing: Rugged titanium pressure housing designed for demanding subsea deployments.
• Long-Range Acoustic Communication: 1–8 km depending on conditions and modulation selected.
• Flexible Data Rates: 80 bps to 10,240 bps depending on the selected modulation scheme.
• Precise Acoustic Ranging: Two-way acoustic ranging with accuracy better than <0.3 m.
• Low Power Wake-Up: Energy-efficient standby operation with rapid activation.
• Integrated Battery Power: Supports 1 to 4 internal 77 Wh Li-Ion batteries for extended missions.
• Easy System Integration: Ethernet, RS-422, RS-232, and programmable Linux APIs.
• Two Performance Options: Available with PMM5544 Standard electronics or PMM6081 High-Performance electronics.
  
  

System Electronics Options:

• PMM5544 - Standard: Dual-core processing, 64 GB storage, proven balanced performance.
• PMM6081 - High-Performance: Quad-core processing, 128 GB storage, enhanced compute capability and autonomy.
  
  

Optional Specialized Features (License Required):
