SIMRAD: Next generation sonar and echo sounder systems to be
launched at World Fishing 2009
|
|
New professional fish finding solutions to
improve catch efficiency
|
Simrad, one of the world's most recognised brands within
professional fishing electronics will launch the new Simrad SH90
high frequency sonar and the new Simrad ES70 split beam echo
sounder during the World Fishing exhibition in Vigo, Spain, 16th -
19th September 2009. Both the SH90 and ES70 build upon de facto
industry standard systems, already used to improve catch
efficiency aboard thousands of fishing vessels worldwide.
The high frequency SH90 is a complete redesign of the highly
regarded SH80 and includes new transducer, transceiver and signal
processor, as well as system signal processing software. It
provides unrivalled resolution, making difficult targets such as
mackerel, tuna and fish close to the bottom easier to detect than
ever before. Sophisticated features of the SX90 include; linear FM
transmission, horizontal and vertical views; 'Tip' (tilt able 180°
fan shaped beam); 360° stabilization; dual mode (two sonars in one);
recording and a simple, intuitive menu structure.
"In addition to improving on the popular SH80, the SH90 is based
on the same platform as the SX90, which has sold over 140 units
since its introduction in 2007, so we really have high
expectations for it," says Mads Dahl, Sales & Marketing Director,
Simrad. "This is backed-up by positive feedback from two Norwegian
vessels that have been testing the SH90 during live fishing since
the beginning of 2009 and we expect to publish further results of
these trials and a new trial aboard a Spanish tuna vessel during
World Fishing in Vigo."
With over 3500 vessels around the world fishing, surveying or
navigating with a Simrad ES60, Simrad also has very high
expectations for its next generation echo sounder, the ES70. It
includes all the features of the ES60 and introduces a number of
new and upgraded features, including; intuitive menu structure
with multiple languages for quick and easy to understand
operation; automatic features such as range dependant pulse length,
seamless auto range and screen history memory buffer; bottom
detector; bottom hardness calculator; zoom window for fish size
and fish volume, and fish plot view.
"With the introduction of the ES70 echo sounder, Simrad
strengthens its position as the market leader in high end echo
sounders," says Dahl. "Many echo sounders on the market offer
attractive feature sets but it is much harder to match the high
performance that the ES70 provides. With consistent and
trustworthy performance, like its predecessor, the ES70 is set to
become a key tool for efficient and sustainable fishery."
