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 minutes 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.

MarineVision Kits are now used on many yachts, including RORC series winners Fidessa Fastwave. 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 an Extreme 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 Movistar, Sony Ericsson, 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 IP68 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(Hammerhead) 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. Take a look at this movie or review the iX104 "What is Rugged?" page
