​Sized at just 60 x 50 mm, and weighing in at 55 g, the OEM version of the UCM is the smallest acoustic modem ever designed by Teledyne Benthos. The UCM is ideally suited for applications with stringent size and weight limitations such as micro vehicles and smaller subsea instrumentation.

We have partnered with SMELTS (Sea Mammal Education Learning Technology Society™) to advance on-demand, or ropeless fishing, which provides lobster and crab fisheries a means to recover fishing gear remotely, through subsea acoustic communication, thus reducing, or eliminating the need for ropes, lines, and surface buoys.
