Navico launches Broadband 3G Radar

FOLLOWING the award-winning success of the BR24 Broadband Radar, Navico has launched its all-new Broadband 3G Radar.

Navico’s Broadband 3G marks another huge leap forward in the capacity of FMCW radar with a 30 per cent increase in both range and target detection without compromise to its already outstanding close range capabilities.

With twice the RF transmit power of the BR24 at the antenna, objects such as small fibreglass boats and channel markers can be seen from a distance of up to 30 per cent further away right up until the moment they pass safely within less than two metres of the vessel, allowing the safest navigation possible in all states of visibility.

Broadband 3G users also benefit from InstantOn, which enables the radar to power-up instantly from standby – and in less than16 seconds from a full power down (1/10 of the time required for that of a conventional radar). Similar to BR24, the unit also boasts lower power consumption than its rivals.

More importantly, Broadband 3G (along with the BR24) transmits at 1/10,000 the power of typical pulse radars – emitting five times less energy than an average mobile phone – and emits no harmful radiation outside the dome, allowing for flexible installation.
