Marport Enters Product Design Competition
Marport recently entered its upcoming SeaFire® – Underwater Acoustic Telemetry System in the red dot award: product design – the world’s largest product design competition.
Here’s the official entry (which had to be limited to 800 characters):
SeaFire is a compact, robust instrument designed for wireless acoustic communications in harsh underwater environments. The electronics are “software defined” – a novel technique that enables the instrument to be dynamically re-configured for different functions. Each instrument can be re-programmed for various operating parameters such as frequencies, modulation schemes and waveforms. Its internal enclosure protects the electronic circuitry and is pressure rated to 5,000 metres depth. The high visibility external housing is streamlined for underwater hydrodynamic performance and enhanced user functionality. All other technical and ergonomic qualities, innovative features, value and performance advantages are expressed by the look and feel of the product.
The sought after trophy is an internationally established seal of design quality and is awarded to products with excellent design quality. With thousands of entries from around the world, and issued annually since 1988, the award honours design innovation. Among former recipients are Apple, BMW, Pininfarina, Nokia, Siemens and other leading companies.
The official award ceremony for all winners of the “red dot award: product design 2009” will take place on June 29, 2009 in Germany.
