Kongsberg cNODE Maxi - Transponder

The cNODE® Maxi is a modular acoustic transponder designed for versatile subsea operations. With multiple transducers, internal and external sensors, and various housing materials, it adapts to a wide range of offshore applications. Updates and new configurations are easily managed via the TTC30 unit, eliminating the need to open the device. A floating collar and release design ensures safe launch and recovery, while modular spare parts simplify maintenance and reduce downtime. Ideal for offshore survey, ROV/AUV tracking, subsea positioning, and long-term monitoring, the cNODE Maxi delivers reliability, flexibility, and efficiency in demanding underwater environments.
