Septentrio Satellite Navigation has signed MBT GmbH as a new dealer for its GNSS marine receivers in Germany.
MBT GmbH, a joint venture between Meerestechnisches Büro Turla and the MacArtney Group based in Kiel, Germany, will provide sales and support for the Septentrio marine product line and the Altus APS-U GNSS receivers to customers in the marine and dredging sectors.
The APS-U powered by a Septentrio board is designed primarily for machine control and marine construction applications. It provides multi-frequency GNSS capability together with GNSS Heading, L-Band positioning and wireless communications within a rugged MIL-STD-810 housing for the broadest range of applications.
The APS-U has proven already to be a very successful product in both marine and dredging sectors for its robustness in difficult environments and its insensitivity for interference allowing for a safe integration and easy operations even placed next to radios and emitting antennae on vessels. The configuration of the APS-U is greatly facilitated by an intuitive and a user friendly web-based interface.
“ We expect the appointment of MBT GmbH to stimulate growth for Septentrio and Altus products in Germany for the marine sector ,” said Koen Gutscoven, Head of Sales at Septentrio . “The company has a proven track record in sales and technical support for GNSS hydrographic surveying, positioning and dredging applications in this important region.”
