The Wideband Sub-Mini 6 Plus (WSM 6+) is Sonardyne’s latest generation of versatile USBL transponders/responders that support WBv2 signals. The WSM 6+ is designed for positioning ROVs, towfish, and other mobile targets in water depths up to 4,000 meters.

The compact and rugged design is based on the field-proven WSM mechanics and is available in MF Directional and MF Omni-Directional versions. The latest Sonardyne Wideband®2 signal technology has been incorporated, which offers superior ranging accuracy and fast USBL position updates.

The WSM 6+ improves on its predecessors by offering full two-way Wideband support – interrogation and reply signals. All Wideband V2 and V2+ signals are supported. Legacy support is also available for WBV1 and HPR 400. The configuration is programmable using supplied software and a serial link or it can be configured acoustically via iWAND.
