TELKO joined the PREParE SHIPS

TELKO joined the ‘PREParE SHIPS’ Consortium with the objective; development and demonstration of a collaborative resilience navigation solution. It aims to develop and enhance existing software solutions by exploiting the distinguished features of the Galileo signals as well as combining it with other nautical information on internal as well as external parameters and sensor technologies.

The final navigation decision support tool implemented, consists of collaborative exchange by ship2ship communication of dynamically predicted future position based on resilient position from Galileo receivers.

This will significantly increase safety and efficiency and will be the base of future autonomous operations.

Software update: TECDIS 4.8.3.3 is released

Today, 1st of March 2019, we are releasing a new update to the TECDIS software. This brings TECDIS to software version 4.8.3.3.

This release introduces several major changes to TECDIS, both to the product itself and to the feature set it has.

The biggest change is the introduction of TELCARE, our software as a service subscription program. Read more about it here: telko.no/telcare

We are also introducing highly requested features such as Admiralty TotalTide, a new miniconning for transit and drag and drop for editing route lanes and turn radiuses. We are also adding a feature we are very proud of; Rendesvous. This tool predicts where other vessels will be along your route, and allows you to visually find suitable locations for overtaking/meeting, and provides you with speed to go to accomplish it as well.

Read more about the features in the TECDIS Feature Guide for this release (link below).

 

Best regards,

The Telko Team

Stena Vinga with TECDIS
 by Telko

Telko in the media: Sjöfartstidningen

In the latest edition of the Swedish Sjöfartstidningen you can read about the TECDIS installation on Stena Vinga. Telko International AB has performed a complete rebuild of the front of bridge systems. A dual TECDIS installation together with Furuno Radars is now installed on the bridge.

In the article you can read more about Stena Vinga’s experience with TECDIS (the article is written in swedish), but to sum up their main reason for choosing Telko and TECDIS is simplicity:

It’s in line with our desire to remove unnecessary features for the navigators. Many ECDIS systems on the market today have received many features in a short period of time. But Telko’s system is a simpler, cleaner system.

Read more about the views of Stena Line and Telko about a simpler and more modular approach to bridge designs for the future. Telko International AB’s very own Jonas Trygg has provided a lot of insight in the article, and it is truly worth the read.

The full article is available in Sjöfartstidningen number 10/2018, and in the pdf below:

Introducing the TECDIS 2728

We are exited to announce that the all new TECDIS 2728 model is joining our TECDIS linup, with availability today!

TECDIS 2728 takes most of it’s cues from our long-running 2138A and 2138B line of standalone computers, and places that high end technology in the bezel of a gorgeous 27 inch display.

It is based on the Kaby Lake platform from Intel, and features a powerful Core i5 processor, 8 GB of blazingly fast RAM, 150 GB of storage on a removable SSD, and of course that gorgeous 27 inch Full HD display. The front of the unit is totally covered in glass, adding a premium look and feel to the bridge.

Furuno Norway, Vico and Telko are uniting their forces to create new products and services in maritime electronics.

Telko AS has developed and manufactured the maritime navigation products TELchart and TECDIS for the last 20 years in close cooperation with Furuno Norway AS. Now the cooperation is strengthened, with a restructuring of Telko AS in preparation for a bright future.

In a private placement Furuno Norway AS and Vico AS are establishing a 25% share each of Telko AS. Telko Holding will remain as the largest owner with a 30% share, and IT Brekketoppen will have a 20% share. IT Brekketoppen is owned by Knut Vidar Lauritsen, the President of Telko AS since October 1st 2017.

 

Telko and Furuno Norway have renewed their exclusive distribution agreement for Telko products in the Norwegian market. Furuno Norway’s nationwide sales- and service network with Vico and 43 other dealers has been a vital part of the recipe for success for TECDIS and TELchart.

Internationally Telko will establish separate distribution channels.

 

The coming development of Telko will center around the established product lines, as well as expanding to e-navigation and digital services.

The three partners look forward to a close collaboration where great new navigation related solutions are created for our customers.
