Adding to its impressive list of global
accolades, Navico's BR24 Broadband Radar has received the DAME award honourable
mention for best product in marine electronics at the Marine Equipment Trade
Show (METS).
Held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, last
week, an unprecedented 154 products were submitted for the award – Navico's
honourable mention within such a large field of submissions signifying a
tremendous achievement for the Australasian-designed BR24.
Navico Asia Pacific's chief operation
officer John Scott said all the awards the BR24 had received to date were the
culmination of exceptional efforts from everyone within Navico.
"From the years of commitment from our
R&D team, to the massive awareness campaigns executed by our regional
marketing teams and agencies, and through the growing revenue generated by our
worldwide sales teams, the BR24 is truly a Navico success story," Mr Scott
said.
"Each passing day and each new accolade is
another important step towards cementing Navico's position as the best business
partner and customer service organisation in the global marine electronics
industry."
Recently winning the NMEA Technology Award,
the 2009 National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Innovation Award and
the 2009 EDN Innovation Award for ‘best application of RF design', among others,
Navico's BR24 Broadband Radar is the world's first recreational marine
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar.
Representing the next generation of radar
safety, affordability and ease of use, the BR24 combines straightforward
installation, flexible antenna placement options, a 24nm range and low power
draw, making it the clear choice for coastal and inshore navigation.
