WBAT

Subsea wideband autonomous transceiver

The Wideband Autonomous Transceiver (WBAT) is a subsea transceiver designed to monitor marine life and detect gas leaks worldwide. The WBAT is a cutting-edge technology that leads the way in marine life monitoring.

Advanced Subsea Research Tool

The autonomous all-in-one echo sounder WBAT is programmed using EK Mission Planner before deployment. It is self-contained and records data with the acoustic settings at given time intervals. The EK80 or third-party applications are used for data analysis following data collection.

Typical Installations
