Everything in a compact package
CEESCOPE™
Single Beam Echo Sounder with Built-in GNSS
The CEESCOPE™ puts an echo sounder, an RTK GNSS receiver, a data logger and a battery in one IP67 case. Choose a Hemisphere, Trimble or NovAtel receiver with satellite, network or UHF corrections. Press power and depth (30 Hz) and position (20 Hz) are logged and output, every packet time-stamped by 1PPS. CEESCOPE™ is a state of the art portable hydrographic surveying system with advanced capabilities in a truly compact package. Coupling powerful built-in RTK GNSS with a survey grade echo sounder in a single waterproof enclosure, it represents the ultimate in shallow water single beam survey systems.

Applications
One box. Any survey.
From dredge volumes and river mapping to rapid deployments, the CEESCOPE™ is proven on any boat, anywhere.

Dredging & sedimentation
Dual frequency separates the hard bottom from soft or redeposited material, with the full echogram logged for quality control.
Rivers & shallow water
Auto Shallow mode and multi-constellation GNSS hold the bottom and the fix in 0.15 m of water or under tree canopy.
Ports, harbours & construction
RTK bathymetry that drops straight into land-survey datasets from the same base station.
Rapid mobilization
One case, no extra radios or cables and the NiMH battery flies with the crew, so the whole kit travels to site.
Navigation & charting
Map uncharted waterways with survey-grade soundings, 1PPS time-stamped to precise GNSS position.
Remote & extreme environments
IP67 case, 8-hour internal battery and internal logging for standalone work wherever the job goes.

Why surveyors choose CEESCOPE™
Echo sounder, GNSS receiver, data logger and battery, set up and run from one waterproof case.
01 / Why the echogram
See exceptional detail in high definition
The complete sonar echo return from each ping is digitized into 3200 separate values, not just a single depth. Heavy bottom vegetation, debris and sediment can be identified on the echogram and separated from the true bottom.

Step 1 · GNSS receiver
Choose your internal GNSS
Choose a Hemisphere, Trimble or NovAtel receiver for high accuracy positioning with fewer cables and connections, then choose satellite, network (NTRIP) or UHF RTK corrections.

All receivers are L-Band enabled. Position output is activated at 20 Hz (10 Hz on the BD9250). Ask us if you need a higher rate. RTK corrections come from a network (NTRIP) through the Ethernet port, or a local base over the optional internal UHF receiver (403 – 473 MHz).

Dual frequency (200 / 22–36 kHz) gives greater penetration through loose sediment, sludge and silt. Transducers mount on 50 mm / 2″ tubes or 5/8″ thread survey poles.
