MacArtney to Launch NEXUS MK VII at Ocean Business

MacArtney Group will launch the new NEXUS MK VII multiplexer at the Ocean Business exhibition.

Also MacArtney will display other developments, such as the LUXUS wide angle LED, and stand visitors will have the chance to learn about the MacArtney range of hydrostatic pressure testing vessels and examine a 3D scale model MERMAC foldable A-Frame representing the company’s new series of LARS solutions.

As the company said, the star of the show on stand B1 will be the MacArtney NEXUS MK VII – an HD and standard video, Ethernet, serial and multibeam sonar multiplexer based on Moog Focal 907 telemetric technology.

The NEXUS MK VII represents the most advanced MacArtney telemetry system to date. Power switching is software controlled via PC software or using a tablet which is online via LAN or WiFi. Sensor power status, telemetry link, leak alarm etc. is also continuously monitored by the software. Advanced features include programmable fuses and software enabled interface selection. Moreover, the NEXUS MK VII carries all signals over one single mode optical fibre via coarse wavelength division multiplexing, hereby providing an efficient link between surface and seabed, the company explained.

Typical applications for the NEXUS MK VII will include ROV/ROTV systems requiring a HD video and multibeam sonar survey sensor setup, cable trencher systems, towed camera and sensor systems and seabed monitoring applications including landers and observatory systems.

“With Ocean Business, the bare figures tend to speak for themselves and with a massive forecasted rise in attendants for the fifth consecutive show, over 300 registered exhibitors and a unique hands-on demonstrations programme, Ocean Business is the place to be for everyone in our industry” says MacArtney Sales and Marketing Director, Marco MacArtney, and continues: “On behalf of all the dedicated underwater technology specialists which will be present at stand B1, we are truly looking forward to a great week in Southampton and to welcoming anyone who wants to know more about MacArtney and our underwater technology product and system capabilities.”
