- Raymarine, an industry leader in Marine
Electronics, recently launched its latest range of intelligent
marine multifunction displays (MFDs): the new
e Series and c Series use u-blox' compact AMY-6M
GPS satellite receiver module to facilitate accurate
positioning for marine applications such as navigation and
cartography.
"Reliable GPS positioning is the basis for many core
applications. After evaluating several options on the market,
u-blox' GPS module technology proved superior in terms of tracking
sensitivity and accuracy. In particular, we found the AMY-6M
to deliver excellent performance, making it ideal for our new range
of MFDs." said Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at
Raymarine.
"Raymarine's latest multifunction displays leverage multiple
features of our leading GPS module technology, including compact
size, high-sensitivity, wide operating temperature range, and
immunity to RF noise. These are all important criteria when
navigating at sea, and we are pleased that Raymarine has decided to
partner with u-blox as their GNSS supplier," said Armin Böshenz,
u-blox VP of Sales, EMEA.
Raymarine's feature-rich new MFDs bring advanced power, expanded
networking and wireless connectivity to boaters looking for the
most technically innovative and intuitive way to access information
and control on-board systems. The MFDs also network with
other units including tablets and smartphones via Raymarine's new
apps, making navigation charts, thermal video, radar and sonar
information more accessible and portable than ever before.
