EdgeTech, a manufacturer of underwater technology solutions, now offers a communication interface to the University of Rhode Island Inverted Echo Sounder or “URI PIES” system through the 8011M deck box.

The URI PIES system is often moored in deep locations for extended periods of time. Acoustic communication to the instrument is value to ensure its safe return. The EdgeTech 8011M can control and range on EdgeTech’s full line of acoustic releases as well as other manufacturers’ equipment.

The URI PIES communication interface comes standard on all new 8011M deck boxes.

According to the company, customers that already own and operate an EdgeTech 8011M deck box have the opportunity to upgrade their units to include this interface as well.
