Navico releases 4G radar

AVAILABLE across the Lowrance, Simrad Yachting and B&G brands, Navico says its new Broadband 4G radar boasts a huge 36nm range, unmatched resolution and clutter reduction to deliver a crystal clear image, extremely low emissions (less than 1/5 than that from a mobile phone), InstantOn technology and low power consumption - along with simple installation and ease of use.

Broadband 4G Radar features include: Beam Sharpening, Target Separation Control, Dual Range Radar and high-revolution speed.

Broadband 4G is the first dome radar in the world to use Beam Sharpening, a technology that significantly improves the azimuth resolution – or effective horizontal beam width of the radar – to provide the best target resolution of any dome radar available.

Target Separation Control allows users to adjust the levels of target separation according to their needs and, thanks to Beam Sharpening, can provide resolution up to the equivalent of a 1m open array radar.

Dual Range Radar is possible when Broadband 4G is combined with, for example, the Simrad NSE. Displaying dual range radar combinations from a single scanner, boaters also benefit from revolution speeds up to 48rpm.

Broadband 4G Dual Range Radar operation also allows up to 10 MARPA targets in each split radar screen with independent controls – for a total of 20 tracked targets.
