Subnero unveils new generation of underwater acoustic smart modems
Subnero has launched its new Gen4X series of acoustic smart modems, designed to support a wide range of subsea communication needs. The new generation builds on previous models with improved performance, integration flexibility and support for modern underwater systems.
The compact design of the Gen4X makes it suitable for integration into various platforms, including marine robots, subsea IoT systems and diver communication networks. Key features include acoustic wake-up and hardware-in-the-loop simulation support, which are intended to support more responsive and efficient underwater operations.
At the core of the Gen4X series is UnetStack5, the latest version of Subnero’s underwater networking software. It offers enhanced protocol flexibility, improved support for autonomous and distributed operations, and tools for building programmable underwater networks.
“With Gen4X, we’re not just offering a hardware upgrade – we’re delivering a platform designed for the future of underwater systems,” said Manu Ignatius, CEO at Subnero. “Whether you’re deploying an AUV swarm, building subsea sensor networks or supporting tactical operations, Gen4X is engineered to adapt and perform.”
The Gen4X series is available in various OEM configurations to support custom integration needs. It is expected to begin shipping by summer 2025, with pre-orders and early access programmes now available for select partners.
