Canadian Coast Guard
In 2019, the Canadian Coast Guard awarded a contract to Seacoast Marine Electronics, a RHOTHETA dealer headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This will allow the Canadian Coast Guard to replace its aging direction finders across its entire fleet with the RT-500-M radio direction finder within two to three years.

"Since 2019, we have been using RHOTHETA RT-400 portable direction finders to carry out search and rescue missions at Paris-Charles De Gaulle airport. Compared to our old devices, the RT-400 halves the search time for a crashed plane, which is nothing short of a revolution and makes us much more efficient at providing assistance to passengers in an area close to an airport."
