SubVox – diver's wireless voice communication station

Stable communication between divers and the command post, even in shallow water

Overview

SubVox – part of the EchoTrace system, built specifically for divers

It can also be used without the positioning function, as a wireless voice communication system. It ensures stable voice communication among divers and between divers and the command post, as well as precise object positioning

What it does

  • Autonomous operation for up to 20 hours in receive mode and up to 8 hours in mixed mode
  • Compact: 106 × 95 × 55 mm, weighing 0.6 kg
  • Compatible with most analog systems (OTS, Ocean Reef, and others)
  • Built-in speech detector
  • Built-in diver positioning function
  • Acoustic communication range of up to 1000 m

How it works

How it works

SubVox is simple — it combines a navigator, a pinger, and a two-way underwater voice communication device in a single housing

Extremely simple to operate

SubVox switches on automatically when diving and operates in Push-to-Talk (PTT) mode — reception is continuous, while transmission is active only while the PTT button is pressed. After each voice message, the station sends a navigation signal that is used to determine the diver's position underwater

High-quality acoustic communication and precise object positioning

We use broadband hydroacoustic communication technology across all our systems, which reliably protects against interference even in shallow water. As part of the EchoTrace system, the station can perform the functions of a telephone as well as a navigator and a pinger

System components

You can purchase SubVox as part of the EchoTrace system, or separately as part of a telephone communication kit

SubVox Diver

A world first — determining a diver's location underwater without the need to purchase a separate navigation system

Key features

  • Autonomous operation of up to 8 hours (mixed mode) / up to 20 hours (receive only)
  • Compatible with most analogous systems (OTS, Ocean Reef, etc.)
  • Compact: 106×95×55 mm, weight 0.6 kg
  • Built-in voice activity detector
  • Acoustic communication range of up to 1000 m
  • Built-in diver location function

A modern diver's telephone station built using the latest technical solutions. Besides two-way voice communication, the station determines the diver's position underwater (using EchoTrace buoys as the navigation base)

An extremely reliable solution

The device has no openable parts that could leak: there is no way to forget to latch the housing, damage a switch, or fail to tighten a connector — our device simply has none of these. Battery charging and device configuration are performed wirelessly.

The simplest possible control

SubVox switches on automatically when immersed and operates in Push-to-Talk (PTT) mode — reception runs continuously, while transmission is active only while the PTT button is pressed. After each voice message, the station transmits a navigation signal that determines the diver's position underwater.

High-quality acoustic communication and accurate object positioning

We apply broadband hydroacoustic communication technology and digital signal processing across all of our systems. This provides reliable protection against interference even in poor conditions (for example, in shallow water), and enables features unavailable in other systems — in particular, underwater diver positioning.
