RT 6 family of acoustic release transponders

Deploy, track, and recover your moorings and equipment with RT 6

Our new range of acoustic releases, RT 6, last longer, go deeper and lift more.

They combine the extensive track record of the previous models with the flexibility of our 6G hardware platform, meaning you can deploy, track and release them using one of our Ranger 2 USBL systems. Some models can even be controlled using an Android app. Take the worry out of mooring your kit. Specify RT 6 for your next project.

Our RT 6s come in three popular depth ratings, 1,000 m, 3,000 m and 6,000 m

Spend less time recovering and more time collecting data with up to 2.5 years battery life
