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.

Software update: TECDIS 4.8.3.2 is released

Today, 21st of March, 2018, we are releasing a new update to the TECDIS software. This brings TECDIS to software version 4.8.3.2.

The most important feature of this update is the addition of import and export of routes in the RTZ format. RTZ is a standardized route exchange format, regulated by IEC 61174 Edition 4 from 2015.

We have also added several improvements and stability fixes to TECDIS with this release.

 

One improvement is the option to increase the display of target information. Course Over Ground (COG), Speed Over Ground (SOG), Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA) can now be enlarged by simply clicking on any of the values.

 

You can download the update file here:  TECDISUpdate.exe
And we advise that you download and read the TECDIS Feature Guide for this release here: TECDIS Feature Guide 4.8.3.2.pdf

Closer collaboration between Furuno Norway, Vico and Telko

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.
