MarineVision provides rugged Waterproof Computer products as wireless tablets or PDA's for use in extreme environments as well as Marine PC's and screens for below deck. At sea, or in a race you need to have Navigation and Tactical information available anywhere on the craft at any time in all conditions. So our top end solutions are IP67 rated ( i.e. your Waterproof Computer can be submersed for 30 mins in 30cm of water), Wireless and Tough. It's worth taking a look at the difference between IP54 and IP67 before making a choice about which computer to take aboard. We also do Rain Proof IP64 & IP54 solutions at lower cost. Our philosophy is to provide solutions that are not only easy to install, but are developed to best suite their intended use, whilst keeping costs at a level available to the majority. Our Waterproof Computer solutions cover both the power and sailing worlds from individual users to entire crews.

Fidessa Fastwave is a DK46 and has a very impressive set of results in her first season using this technology. See her fantastic results . Her sister ship Erivale has also achieved a great results since fitting a HHXRT in time for the RORC Morgan Cup race (June 2005) by coming 2nd to Fidessa, getting her best result so far this season and then after 4 days of Match racing during the Fastnet pipped Fastwave by only a few minutes. Other boats using MarineVision Tablet PC's include yachts like Telefonica, Mankie, Jugular (a J109) and Azure, showing the validity of the concept across all sizes of yacht. MarineVision chose the Waterproof Computer Tablet approach for it's on deck systems in order to maximise the use of the hardware both onboard and off. Our High end Weatherproof products can be taken on deck in almost all conditions and will even survive dropping into the water. The iX104 even floats, so you stand a good chance of recovering if lost overboard. To supplement this range and for those who want something smaller on deck we have now introduced a IP^& rated PDA which works well with both Expedition and Seatrack Navigation software. We have also recently introduced options for Wireless tablet products at an IP54 (iX104) and IP64(RT) rating. This is for those customers who are looking for a lower cost solution which is price comparable to the Panasonic IP54 rated ToughBook wireless screen, whose Transreflective version has been recently end of lifed. The IP54/IP64 allows us to offer lower prices, but still maintain most of the advantages listed below. The difference is that IP67 effectively means waterproof and IP54/IP64 means shower or rain proof. Other unique advantages of using the ruggerdised Tablet PC approach, are:- The expensive hardware can stay with you all the time, improving security There is no need for a PC below deck. Therefore no vulnerable point in the system You can use the Tablet at home or at work, therefore maximising it's value Standard Wifi interface options can be included, allowing broadband access in Marinas A GPS module can be included internally, allowing for a complete stand alone IP67 rated nav station in case the on board instruments fail. A IP67 rated GSM/GPRS module can be fitted internally, allowing dial up communications almost anywhere in any conditions Also these machines are really tough.

MarineVision About Us Background MarineVision was created by Adrian Abbs who has owned and sailed on the RORC Series winning Fastwave II for the 2001,2002 & 2003 seasons. The new yacht, fidessa fastwave, is being launched early in the 2004 season, and it has identified that improvements can be made, in terms of input from the Navigator, if the PC used for running SeaPro performance (Nav Tool used on Fastwave II) was available on deck. RaceVision2 from B&G was known about, but seen as too expensive. So an in-depth search was started to find for an alternative. This research project has resulted in several options now available through MarineVision. Based on the difficulty of sourcing all the parts needed to deliver an applicable solution, it became obvious there was a niche that needed filling and so MarineVision was formed. Using our Configure and Order system you can easily create and order your custom Wireless Navigation and Tactical solution at price levels starting around 3100 rather than the 6500 for the B&G RaceVision2. Our aim is to continue to innovate in this area and deliver cost effective, easy to install, state of the art solutions for Navigation & Tactical software from the 3 leaders in the field. Deckman For Windows, Seatrack & Seapro (EuroNav). We also identified, as many in sailing have, that at speed, or during windy conditions, it can be almost impossible to communicate on board. We have a solution for this using throat mic technology. See here for more information.

See sailing bio at http://www.fastwave2.co.uk/cbrown.htm) Finding the right solution at the right price “We had been looking for a wireless navigation solution for the new yacht fidessa fastwave and found MariveVision offered us a flexible approach at a keen price level. The equipment is of very high quality, so we get exactly what we need without compromise. Having used the kit throughout 2005 it is now understood by all, to be a key factor in the huge success fastwave has achieved throughout season" www.fastwave2.co.uk Chris Harrington (Sales & Marketing Manager Rugged Systems Limited.) How industry standard components can be used in new verticals “The All Terrain iX104 Tablet PC computer has been designed to meet more challenging environments with increased durability but not at the expense of the application. The marine environment is a 'shoe-in' for the All Terrain iX104 Tablet PC as it meets IP67 and has been tested to military specifications providing a robust and rugged computer capable of many applications above and below deck. Chris Harrington, Sales and Marketing Manager at Rugged Systems Limited stated that the All Terrain iX104 Tablet PC has been developed as a result of listening to the needs of the market providing a significant benefit, from the mobility, versatility and ease of use of the All Terrain iX104 Tablet PC.” Chris Pontet seaPro (EuroNav International Products Manager.) What makes the MarineVision solution unique? +44 (0) 23 9237 3855 "We (Euronav) are very excited about the launch of MarineVision. This truly is a first, the way that the whole package of software, tablet PC and GPS can be integrated and sold as one unit. This high quality yet affordable package is offering so much to the navigator whether racing or cruising. The blend of high quality hardware and seaPro software make this the ultimate navigators aid." Greg O’Hagen (Nav & Trim Fastwave II - 5 Fastnets 10 Years RORC and member of 1992 UK Commadores cup team.) How the Nav computer is replacing charts Greg notes “that Fastwave II utilised the seaPro product during 2 successful years, including a RORC Class 1 series win and that at all times, I think it is fair to say that it offered something approaching 100% reliability. We now only carry minimal paper charts for backup and only use these to practise nav skills and to cross check computer predictions whilst racing.” Peter Schofield seatrack (MD peter@seatrack.co.uk ) Expanding the market & value “MarineVision’s concept gives real value, not only because the customer gets to choose the software that best suits them, but because the price levels open up the solution to a much wider audience. The hardware platforms used by MarineVision fit well with features needed by Navigators and allow the information provided by seatrack software to be delivered exactly where and when it’s needed.” Tim Thubron (Race Skipper and winner of class 1 RORC, Fastnet Race, Cowes Week, Cork Week etc) Getting an edge “Products like this help you win races, both inshore and offshore. We all know that new sails help you to go faster, but in today’s competitive environment on deck navigation and tactical displays also give you an edge that your competitors may not be using. MarineVision are making this happen for a much wider audience and raises the bar for anyone interested in racing” Site Map Home Product Company Site Map News Contact us demo Strength Movie Overviews of Hardware XRT RT933 XRT Strength XRT/RT933 Docking iX104T/TD iX104 Docking iX104 "What is Rugged" Underwater Images Compare Hardware GOBOOK Fujitsu IP67 cover Software DeckMan SeaPro SeaPro Compare SeaPro top 10 SeaTrack Purchase Individual Hardware & Software Deckman seatrack seaPro iX104 Hammerhead GOBOOK Tablet About Us Product News About Us Request a Demo Special Offers "What is Rugged" Configure & Order kits Management Team News Management Team Company Compare Products Free Demo's Board of Directors Home Board of Directors Configure & Order Literature Investors Contact Us Investors Contact Us Technical Information Contact Us Free Demo Contact Us Home Support Services Links Dynamic Links 2004 Cowes week Special MarineVision Contacts Page MarineVision General Information: info@marinevision.co.uk Sales Information: sales@marinevision.co.uk MarineVision is wholly owned by TEEC (The EMEA Enterprise Company) 6 Lower Farm Court, Hambridge Lane, Newbury, Berkshire RG145TH Tel: Office +44 (0 1635 231023 Fax: Office +44 (0)1635 528276 Sales: +44 (0)7768 998370 Customer Service/Support Adrian Abbs T +44 (0) 1635 231023 M +44 (0) 7768998370 E aabbs@marinevision.co.uk Marketing / PR Lynn Harrell M +44 (0) 7768998370 E lharrell@marinevision.co.uk TEEC Company Office Address Wyvols Court Old Basingstoke Road Swallowfield Berkshire RG7 1WY United Kingdom Products Overview for TDS Recon PDA Recon PDA The Recon family is IP 67 rated (which means you can submerse in water for up to 30 minutes) this makes for the ideal waterproof/weatherproof PDA.

The IP code indicates the level, or amount of the protection. The three digits represent three different forms of environmental influence: The first digit represents protection against ingress of solid objects. The second digit represents protection against ingress of liquids. The third digit represents protection against mechanical impact damage. (*The third digit is often omitted, resulting in a 2-digit IP Rating covering ingress against solid objects and liquids only). The larger the value of each digit, the greater the protection from that influence. As an example, a product rated as IP573 would be better protected against environmental factors than another similar product that was only rated as IP432. IP TABLE: First Number (Solids) Second Number (Liquids) Third Number (Mechanical Impact) 0 No protection No protection No protection 1 Protected against solid objects over 50mm e.g. hands, large tools. Protected against vertically falling drops of water or condensation. Protected against 0.225 joule impact (150g @ 15cm). 2 Protected against solid objects over 12mm e.g. hands, large tools. Protected against direct sprays of water up to 15 from vertical. Protected against 0.375 joule impact (250g @ 15cm). 3 Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm e.g. wire, small tools. Protected against direct sprays of water up to 60 from vertical. Protected against 0.5 joule impact (250g @ 20cm). 4 Protected against solid objects over 1.0mm e.g. wires. Protected against water sprayed from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. 5 Limited protection against dust ingress (no harmful deposit) Protected against low pressure water jets from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. Protected against 2.0 joule impact (500g @ 40cm). 6 Totally protected against dust ingress. Protected against high pressure water jets from any direction. Limited ingress permitted. (Shipdeck) 7 N/A Protected against the effects of immersion between 15cm and 1M.

Wireless connectivity, Peripheral connections and power connections. MarineVision products are now available with either Wifi Connection to the onboard instruments or Bluetooth. RaceVision2 is available as Bluetooth only. The customised connector in RaceVision2, amongst other enhancements allows B&G to offer the IP67 rating and is how external connections are made. An on deck cable assembly is available to give charging capability. In MarineVision based kits we have chosen to keep standard connections available and achieve IP67 by using custom seals. These cover the USB port, Power Port and Rear docking station connector. It is intended that the MarineVision product runs on batteries and uses the Hot swap capability whilst on deck. This change means we can take near standard product, rather than completely re engineer and means we can offer a price which is 40% less than RaceVision2 rrp.

As such how can decision makers tell how rugged a computer really is? Truly rugged computing devices are engineered, inside and out, to operate in a range of hostile environments. Their design encompasses the external housing, internal components, special coatings, and seals among others allowing them to function correctly in operating environments ranging from challenging to extreme. Mobile Workers that are required to operate outside of a controlled office environment are ideal candidates for a rugged Tablet PC. Customers have to rely on a product s specifications and warranty statements to evaluate the amount of ruggedisation included in the product s design. Since specifications vary from product to product a number of ratings and standards established by various government agencies and industry associations such as the Military Standards for Environmental Testing (MIL-STD-810F) are available to help even out the evaluation process and provide a better assessment of a product s ruggedisation. Because certain ratings, standards and test methods are subject to interpretation closer scrutiny of a vendor s claims is recommended. To clearly understand a device s ability to perform where it will be used it is important to obtain detailed testing information (validated by an independent body) and warranty statements from the manufacturer to verify a product s ability to operate in those environments. Military Standards for Environmental Testing Published by the U.S Department of Defense the MIL-STD-810F specification is a series of guidelines and test methods for determining the effects of natural and induced environments on equipment used in military or commercial applications. Below is a summary of the key standards and tests that determine a product's level of ruggedisation and ability to operate in harsh environments. UUT is the anacronym for Unit Under Test. Drop Truly rugged products should have a correlating drop specification that defines that device's ability to withstand the shock of a fall to a non-yielding surface. This is 4' to concrete, while operating, on all corners, sides and edges which is the typical standard for proper testing and is what users typically encounter. If this distan
