Case Study: Furuno achieves faster market launch and rugged marine navigation performance with Digi ConnectCore 6

Furuno brings NavNet TZtouch2 to market faster with Digi ConnectCore 6

Furuno, a developer of marine and industrial electronics, faced the challenge of creating a next-generation marine Multi Function Display (MFD) that was both compact and rugged enough for harsh marine environments while delivering a sophisticated touch-based user interface and integrated wireless technologies like Wi-Fi. To tackle these complexities and quickly bring their NavNet TZtouch2 product to market, Furuno turned to Digi International.

Digi International implemented its ConnectCore 6 system-on-module, a pre-certified wireless solution. This provided Furuno with a compact, high-performance, and reliable foundation that simplified development and accelerated time to market. The solution enabled the NavNet TZtouch2 to easily connect to wireless routers for community data and function as a Wi-Fi hotspot for mobile devices. As a result, Furuno successfully launched its advanced product line with the performance and long-term support assurance required by its customers.
