GoSubsea offers the EdgeTech 701 Digital Link (DL) and STARMUX III topside transceivers, designed to provide reliable communication, power distribution, and system control for a wide range of EdgeTech sonar systems. These rack‑mountable units serve as the critical interface between the survey vessel’s topside PC running Discover software and the deployed towfish or sonar system in the water.

Both transceivers are compatible with EdgeTech’s comprehensive sonar portfolio, including the 4200 and 4205 side‑scan systems, as well as the 2000 DSS, 2050 DSS, and 2300 combined side‑scan and sub‑bottom profiler systems. The 701 DL additionally supports powering configurations such as an EdgeTech 4205 paired with a piggybacked Geometrics G‑882 magnetometer, making it a flexible choice for multi‑sensor operations.

Built for offshore survey environments, the 701 DL and STARMUX III provide stable telemetry handling, dependable power delivery, and seamless integration with EdgeTech’s Discover acquisition software. Their robust design ensures consistent performance during demanding survey operations, whether the task involves high‑resolution imaging, sub‑bottom profiling, or combined sensor deployments.

These transceivers are ideal for operators who require a dependable, plug‑and‑play topside solution to support EdgeTech towfish and sonar systems across a wide range of survey applications.

  • 701 DL can supply sufficient power for an EdgeTech 4205 and a single piggybacked Geometrics G-882 magnetometer.
  • For applications requiring increased power such as the 2000 DSS combined side scan and sub bottom profiler, or the 4205 with a piggyback G-882 gradiometer, a STARMUX III can be used.
  • Sea Cable interface within these transceivers will automatically switch off power to the tow vehicle should the processor be disconnected from the tow vehicle for an extended period.
  • ADSL Telemetry from the tow fish is decoded by a modem and data is then made available on the ethernet port.
