ST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND – December 8, 2010 Marport Canada Inc., a leading developer of Software Defined Sonar® technology, announced today that the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters in partnership with Canada’s National Research Council has named Marport as Regional Finalist in the Atlantic / Nunavut Region for the 2010 Innovation Award for New Technology.
In five regions across Canada, one award winner and two finalists were selected for the 2010 Innovation Award for New Technology. The award honours the achievements of Canadian companies whose ideas have demonstrated innovative excellence in new technologies – including new product design, commercialization success and export market diversification.
This is the third year in a row that Marport has been recognized having been a Regional Award Winner in 2009 and a Regional Finalist in 2008. The company was selected based on its underwater sonar technology – particularly its DataSquid® micro-sonar transceiver.
DataSquid® integrates underwater sensing, digital signal processing and acoustic communications in a compact electronics module. The new product results from Marport’s experience in developing next generation sonar systems that leverage the company’s award-winning Software Defined Sonar® technology platform. DataSquid® is designed for applications in commercial fisheries, underwater defence, offshore energy and ocean science.
Karl Kenny, Marport President & CEO said, “It’s a real honour for Marport to be named a Regional Finalist for the 2010 Innovation Award for New Technology. Innovation is an important factor for success and has significant impact on how companies remain competitive in today’s business climate.
