T218
  • HEMISPHERICAL BEAM PATTERN
  • BROADBAND TRANSMISSION
  • DEEP WATER CAPABILITY
  • TRANSPONDER
  • RANGE TRACKING
  • COMMUNICATIONS

The T218 is one of a group of transducers available from Neptune that have been designed for use in transponder beacons, tracking systems, acoustic release mechanisms and data communication systems. 

A versatile transducer the T218 combines efficient broadband transmission and reception with an hemispherical beam pattern. 

The over moulded construction achieves a design that is compact, lightweight and robust. 

The T218 is available with or without acoustic calibration, traceable to National Standards.
