R3 Vox (R2Sonic’s new incarnation in Malta) will hopefully be releasing the Voxometer in Q1 next year. It is a multibeam, but then it isn’t, as it collects voxels (squares) of data at multiple frequencies all at the same time. This will open up new products, acquisition methods and could really be a game changer. […]
