PMM5544 Lab-Mounted Development Kit

The PMM5544 Lab Mounted Development Kit is a high-performance underwater acoustic modem platform designed for reliable communication and scientific data acquisition in challenging underwater environments. Ideal for engineers, researchers, and integrators, this ready-to-use development kit enables rapid evaluation, application development, and field testing without the immediate need to design supporting hardware.

What's in the Box:

• 1x PMM5544 Lab Mounted Development Kit
  • Includes Popoto Digital Interface (PDI) board and 22.2V Li-Ion battery
• 1x Popoto 28 kHz Transducer (1 m cable length)
• 1x USB Micro-B to USB Type-A Cable (4 ft)
• 1x Li-Ion Battery Charger

PMM5544 Features:

• Long-Range Acoustic Communication: 1–8 km depending on transducer, conditions, and modulation selected.
• Flexible Data Rates: 80 bps to 10,240 bps depending on the selected modulation scheme.
• Precise Acoustic Ranging: High-accuracy ranging capability (<0.3 m).
• 4-Channel Input / 4-Channel Output: Supports multi-channel acoustic processing for advanced sensing and beamforming applications.
• Integrated Single Sideband Voice: Includes SSB voice communications with adaptive squelch, VOX, and noise cancellation.
• Easy System Integration: Gigabit Ethernet, RS-422, RS-232, and programmable Linux APIs.

Optional Specialized Features (License Required):

• JANUS Support: Enables interoperable underwater communications using the NATO ANEP-87 standard.
• Phorcys Stheno + Euryale: Adds secure Phorcys communications with Stheno (20–28 kHz) and Euryale (8–12 kHz) capability. Euryale requires a compatible low-frequency transducer.
