Electronics and electrotechnics Industry:
SAFETY AT WORK AND PLAY
Suunto’s equipment brings safety to leisure time as
well as to work. The international Suunto Corporation is a
diversified technology-driven company that operates in the
business of sports instruments. The company’s goal is
to become the most wanted sports instrument brand in the world.
The success of the company is based on its high-quality products
and increasing investment in R&D.
Suunto is one of the leading manufacturers of diving instruments
and water sport suits and the world’s leading manufacturer
of wristop computers and field compasses. In 2001 Suunto introduced
the SUUNTO M9, a new-generation sailing instrument, to mariners
all around the world.
This new product offers important sailing and navigation
data in an easy-to-use, mobile instrument.
Satisfaction while in action
The SUUNTO M9 adapts itself to each particular situation
and provides relevant information while in action so that
the user can concentrate more on his current performance and
on making the right decisions. While the boat is cruising,
the unit delivers useful navigational information and helps
to keep it on the correct course. The quick access to the
MOB-feature allows a quick reaction to a man-overboard rescue
situation. In a race situation the unit gives you the advantage
of a better start by delivering important starting sequence
data such as line bias and other start line information. This
leaves the user with more time to concentrate on boat handling
while in the crowded starting area. After the start, the unit
assists in choosing the right tactics for the individual legs
and helps to make more use of the wind in order to optimise
speed.
Deeper understanding
The Suunto Sail Manager software links the SUUNTO M9 to a
PC and makes navigation much easier by visualising the routes
on marine charts. It offers innovative tools for analysing
the data that the SUUNTO M9 has registered and stored while
in action. The Sail Manager helps to discover what needs to
be improved in the user’s performance, while also offering
an exciting aspect of the sailed journey afterwards.
Online community
SuuntoSports.com opens a new dimension for all SUUNTO M9
users. This www site is a forum where all mariners are able
to meet each other and find the information they are looking
for. The users are able to download information from their
own Sail Manager in order to compare performance and tactics
– or just share the experiences of an exciting journey
with friends or even with the whole world. The dedicated Sailing
Forum is accessible to all people to discover the world of
sailing and navigation online.
