Optech Sensor Receives Award for Technology Innovation

Optech has been awarded the MAPPS 2011 Geospatial Excellence Award for Technology Innovation. The award was given to the ALTM Aquarius, a compact solution for mapping coastal and inland waterways. Compatible with the ALTM Gemini system, Aquarius collects simultaneous land and water-depth measurements, enabling wholly complete data sets that span the land/water interface.  

Designed as a complementary sensor to Optech's Lidar bathymetry systems, Aquarius provides depth information in relatively shallow water environments not previously accessible to conventional topographic mapping sensors alone.
