Nautel Nav
Since building the world’s first solid-state navigational beacon transmitter over 50 years ago, Nautel has become a leading supplier and developer of NDB (non-directional radio beacon), DGPS systems, NAVTEX transmission systems, GMDSS coastal surveillance systems, and enhanced LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) technology worldwide.
Nautel takes a ‘whole system’ approach, improving availability, performance and reliability. Nautel designers have evolved the relationship between the NDB, antenna tuning unit (ATU) and the antenna itself to create radio beacons dependable enough to be trusted for the most mission-critical applications.
More than 20,000 customers in 177 countries rely on Nautel solutions that meet stringent quality standards and perform in harsh climates ranging from arctic, to desert, to jungle.
