HIVE C3 Hub
HIVE is an upgraded version of ecoSUB Robotics' HERMES C3 (Command, Control and Communications) hub. Providing convenient connection to ecoSUB AUVs via Wi-Fi, 3G/4G cellular, or Iridium SATCOM, and geolocation via GPS, it allows users to operate their vehicles from anywhere in the world. HIVE also features a fully-integrated Sonardyne Micro-Ranger 2 USBL system for vehicle tracking and position correction.
The portable unit is enclosed within a rugged watertight case with an internal rechargeable battery, and connects to the control PC running the ecoSUB GUI software. A single HIVE unit can be utilized to control a swarm of ecoSUB AUVs.
