slider_rg300_plusComplete solution of hardware, software and connectivity

Wentorf/Hamburg, 21. June 2021: bobz GmbH adds the new Remote Guidance Toolkit to its product portfolio. This makes the shipznet RG 300 plus the first complete solution developed specifically for maritime use, consisting of hardware, software and connectivity. The various components have been put together in such a way that they complement each other in a meaningful way and offer the ideal conditions for remote use on board.

The Web-based application can be used by multiple teams to support various customer groups or fleets of vessels and needs no installation on a laptop or PC. The hosting of the application is currently in Germany and other locations like Singapore are on the roadmap.
