In 2014 WiRan was invited to consult on the design, subsequent prototyping and delivery of a solutuion for the maritime industry. It was WiRan’s first-ever device for the military market. WiRan in Gdynia was – until then – already known to be an expert in the field of wireless communication and Hardware prototyping. The military client entrusted WiRan with the following project: conceptualizing and prototyping a telemetric measuring device based on fibre-optic communication.

Why was this special for us? The environmental conditions of devices used in military applications are very specific, often demanding – naturally our engineers at WiRan Poland needed to think about that and about the product life span and endurance from the very beginning in the product design process. The product needed to be fit for difficult, environmental conditions at sea and harbour. The combination of the innovative approach of WiRan engineers and the military experience of our partners at CTM Gdynia (Maritime Technology Centre, Gdynia) led to the success of the implementation of the solution, which has been seamlessly updated since then and delivered to another unit (5 years after the intial product implementation).
