BUSINESS BRIEFING
Connecting boat owners to their boats using both interactive data and live video - effortless and instantly from anywhere
Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, FL - October 24, 2001
Intelens Corporation and Satellite Security Corporation today announced a partnership to bring digital wireless video technology to the yachting industry and to bring yacht owners closer to their pleasure crafts.
Intelens, a Boca Raton, Florida based digital imaging technology company has been a leading innovator in network-based video solutions since it was founded in Norway in 1992. Satellite Security Corporation was founded in 1998 by Kelly Drum whose family owns Lauderdale Marina, the oldest and most comprehensive family owned and operated marina in Fort Lauderdale, to enable boat owners to monitor and control various designated electronic devices onboard their vessel from anywhere.
"Many yacht owners spend all but a few days a year far away from their boat, perhaps in another continent. At Satellite Security, using The Locator(tm) product, we have so far been able to give these people interactive data access to their boats, but together with Intelens we will now be able to give them complete connectedness." said Kelly Drum, the President and CEO of Satellite Security. "In complementing the data controls with live video the user experience now becomes more effective, powerful, user friendly and fun."
Intelens already serves the Lauderdale Marina and several other large marinas in the US and in Norway with digital remotely accessible video solutions. The company also has focused on installed networked video solutions in organizations that are particularly geographically disbursed such as large fast-food restaurant chains and construction companies, where owners and managers now can stay always connected to all the people and activities within their enterprise that are important to them.
"We greatly complement companies such as Satellite Security where they already have the infrastructure in place for connecting their customers to their important assets and/or operations from anywhere, but where live video completes the user experience and gives the users information and impressions that a data or voice connection never can," says Gaute Juliussen, the CEO for Intelens. "We particularly look forward to working with very experienced industry specialists like Satellite Security and the Lauderdale Marina to introduce digital network video technology for the marine industry, as we believe the majority of boats, whether moored at their marina or sailing the seven seas, will have a digital video link to their owners within 5-10 years time. This is a huge opportunity for both of us."
