Renewable Energy Systems Integration
We are pioneering systems integration technology to promote renewable energy. Our flagship project is the Maritimatix™ Pod—a modular microcontroller-based computer built from open-source printed circuit boards (PCBs), which can be integrated with third-party systems via an expansion board. Our proprietary Maritimatix™ MNOS (Mesh Network Operating System) firmware enables smarter, safer, and more autonomous operations. Our demonstration platform is the RPV Maritima, a former sailing catamaran we are converting to a “smart catamaran” powered only by renewable energy. Watch our progress on our RPV Maritima Facebook page and join the community on the Electric Powered Multihull Boat Conversions Facebook site.
