Tacktick have unveiled their latest new product, Micronet, the first ever totally wireless marine electronics range.

Micronet is a new networking marine electronics system, which like other Tacktick products is solar powered. What is unique about this product is that instead of transducers and displays communicating through a wire it does so by wireless. This offers huge advantages in terms of ease of installation, and in particular for racing boats - weight. It also offers total flexibility in terms of instrument positioning.

Micronet uses innovative new technology designed by Tacktick reducing the power needed to run a radio network system. The system comprises speed, depth, compass and wind instruments and comes with a range of display heads offering analogue, digital and dual digital displays (see below).

Perhaps the most welcome will be the new Wind Transmitter. This is simply screwed to the masthead so there is no need for cables in the mast or through the deck. Additional instruments can be added at any time without the need for wiring; they simply tune into the network of the existing system making installation effortless.

Tacktick is expected to available in the shops this coming summer.
