Description
Things don’t always follow plan, so the Rover features independent dual GPS and Iridium patch antennas, so that in the event the surface expression is flipped over, the unit will continue to record its position and transmit it back to you. Packaged in a ruggedized, UV protected, marine grade housing, the Rover makes use of the low power, real-time Iridium satellite constellation and GPS to reliably transmit the buoy’s position automatically or on demand at any time.
