From
the same family as the award-winning BR24 and the pioneering Broadband 3G, Navico's
new Broadband 4G™ Radar is set to forever change marine navigation.
Available
across the Lowrance, Simrad Yachting and B&G brands, Navico's latest FMCW 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 incredible
ease of use.
Forgetting
everything you thought you knew about radar, Broadband 4G Radar reinvents the
standard with Beam Sharpening, Target Separation Control, Dual Range Radar and
high-revolution speed – features that will transform the way you navigate for
good.
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. No other recreational radar in the world can
display dual range from 60m (200ft) to 36nm in a single dome – offering the
benefit of monitoring a buoy at close quarters, while simultaneously keeping track
of coastal projections at 36nm away.
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.
Pre-defined
‘Offshore' and ‘Harbour' modes
provide hands-off operation on all ranges without the need for special knowledge
or radar tuning, giving most boaters the confidence of a highly-trained radar
user.
Incorporating
all the features of its predecessors the BR24 and Broadband 3G, along with
these latest technological breakthroughs, Navico's Broadband 4G clearly marks the birth
of yet another revolution in marine navigation and signals the death of the traditional
magnetron pulse radar.
