Garmin Ltd. announced it has acquired Vesper Marine, a privately-held provider of AIS, VHF and vessel monitoring solutions for the marine industry. This acquisition is expected to bolster Garmin\u2019s industry-leading lineup of marine products and technology designed to provide peace of mind and enhanced situational awareness for boaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With almost 15 years of experience, Vesper has developed a suite of communication products and solutions for power, sail and workboats, including the award-winning Cortex system. Cortex combines a state-of-the-art VHF radio with Vesper\u2019s unique smartAIS transponder and remote vessel monitoring technology. Vesper\u2019s smartAIS transponders incorporate built-in alarms to alert mariners of potential collisions, dragging anchors and man overboard situations. The company also offers mobile apps to monitor, view and manage a Cortex system or smartAIS transponder for iOS and Android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVesper has pioneered a number of innovations in the marine communications space, with recognition across the industry for its emphasis on user-friendly and intuitive interfaces that make it easier to communicate on the water,\u201d said Jarrod Seymour, Garmin vice president, marine segment leader. \u201cTogether with the Vesper team, we look forward to providing an unmatched portfolio of integrated marine communications products and services to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to have the support from a marine technology leader like Garmin,\u201d said Carl Omundsen, Vesper Marine co-founder. \u201cThis combination will allow Vesper to expand its capabilities and integration into the marine communication market to make an even greater impact in the boating industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vesper Marine is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand and will join Garmin\u2019s existing team and facility located in Auckland. Financial terms of the acquisition will not be released.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
