RS Aqua and Nortek Ride the Wave Together with WaveRadar Rex2
RS Aqua are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Nortek, who will now distribute the WaveRadar Rex2. Through their global sales and distribution network, this newfound reach will broaden RS Aqua’s WaveRadar Rex2 market presence, enabling streamlined access for customers worldwide.
WaveRadar Rex2 is a natural complement to Nortek’s ADCP portfolio, enabling integrated wave and current measurement solutions. By leveraging Nortek’s well-established presence in key markets, and the trust its regional teams have built with customers, the WaveRadar Rex2 can be introduced to a broader audience and accelerate adoption across diverse marine applications.
About Nortek
Nortek designs, develops and produces acoustic underwater sensors used to measure motion in the marine environment. Their ocean technology is used in many applications, from understanding climate change impacts to providing navigation assistance for underwater vehicles.
Partnership
This new partnership continues to strengthen the relationship between RS Aqua, Nortek and parent company General Oceans. Together, they represent a strong offering to the maritime industry, reinforcing their position as leaders in ocean and environmental technology.
“We are thrilled to announce that we are joining forces with Nortek to launch our Rex2 WaveRadar across their global ecosystem. The Rex2 is complimentary to many of Nortek’s existing offerings and will now end up in the hands of more users than ever before,” said Angus Elkins, Senior Sales Specialist for Ocean Systems at RS Aqua
Orders will be placed directly with RS Aqua by each Nortek subsidiary. For any questions, please contact Sarah Douglas at sarah.douglas(at)nortekgroup.com.
What is WaveRadar Rex2?
The WaveRadar Rex2 is a highly intelligent non-directional radar system developed by RS Aqua, used primarily for wave and tide measurement.
The original version was launched in 1999 and after 21 years of global success, RS Aqua launched the latest generation, WaveRadar Rex2 in 2020. Half the size and weight of its predecessor, Rex2 consumes 10 times less power and has 25% greater range whilst maintaining its accuracy.
RS Aqua recently celebrated their 1000th WaveRadar installation, a milestone that reflects over two decades of protecting ships, ports, and moorings with cutting-edge radar technology.
