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.
