GIB-Lite : Underwater GPS made easy Latest born in the series of "Underwater GPS" products offered by ACSA, the GIB-Lite offers an affordable solution to those users who need accurate sub-sea positioning in a confined area (typically 500 m x 500 m).
By firstly using a smaller, lighter buoy, and secondly by combining some deck box electronics into the antenna assembly, ACSA has produced a system that is even easier to install and deploy than the other GIB systems.
Already finding applications in ROV operations, marine archaeology, and diver tracking, it has become apparent that the type of application originally envisaged for the GIB-Lite system, has been quickly overtaken by the ingenuity of users to find new and exciting opportunities for it's use.
Where the limited range of the GIB-Lite is too much of a restriction, the GIB-Plus system continues to offer a viable alternative to more traditional approaches, particularly inshore operations and on vessels of opportunity.
