Actisense Ambassadors

Jani Jarvinen

When I set up my company Promarine almost exactly twenty years ago I had an idea that maritime markets need NMEA specialists and high quality NMEA products. There were not many producers by that date, but Actisense showed up as highly professional and expert made specialist product, much like what I would have developed myself if I would have had such skills. So I wen't to METS, met Phil and Andy and the rest is history. Products Actisense designs have still the same attributes, highly reliable, well performing and cost effective NMEA solutions that are easy to offer to our professional clients.

With over 30 years of experience in the industry, you gain a true appreciation for quality brands that deliver quality products. Actisense has been part of the SMG portfolio for more than 18 years, and we are proud to have distributed their products within the marine industry. Actisense has consistently pioneered products driven by the needs of the marine electronics market, providing reliable solutions for both complex and straightforward interfacing challenges between different manufacturers. Their continued commitment to innovation, reliability, and industry standards has made Actisense a trusted partner for integrators, installers, and manufacturers alike.

Chris Labozza

We have been Acti-Fans going back to the introduction of the NDC-4 and its variants, and were very early adopters of the A2K line of cables and connectors. The bulletproof nature and quality design of the products are what our technicians depend on when a potential product failure is NOT an option. Considering everything from the extremely solid and popular NGW-1 along with the success of the PRO-Range series, it’s been an absolute pleasure to utilize the entire product line when reliable networking components have become more essential than ever before.

Per Helge H. Børseth

Since 1995, I have had the pleasure of working with maritime electronics at Brommeland Elektronikk AS. Although my role has evolved from technician to Service Manager, and eventually to Managing Director and co-owner, my heart has always remained in the technical work. There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of solving a challenging troubleshooting case or designing the perfect system setup on board. The industry has changed immensely over the decades. As electronics have become more advanced, the need for smart integration has grown. For me, Actisense has been an indispensable partner throughout this journey. They provide the solutions that make the "impossible" possible when connecting different systems, significantly improving both my daily workflow and the experience for my customers. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue this journey for many years to come. The maritime industry is truly where my heart belongs, and I look forward to embracing new technological shifts alongside partners like Actisense.

Roderick Bernal

When systems fail and alarms start sounding, someone has to take responsibility. That’s why I’ve stayed in marine electronics for so long: I fix problems, bring solutions, and keep vessels running anywhere in the world. I believe great marine electronics should be invisible when they work and decisive when they matter. That’s why I align with Actisense: uncompromising standards, rock-solid data flow, and tools designed for owners and engineers who demand precision and trust their systems on board.

Francesco Farina

My collaboration with Active Research Ltd. began 20 years ago, when I met Phil and Andy at METS in Amsterdam. I had just left my position at C-MAP to start my own business, still within the field of marine electronics. Importing and promoting Actisense products in Italy proved to be an excellent choice. Their high quality and long-term reliability have been highly appreciated by my customers, both in the leisure market and in professional navigation. Phil and Andy have always been willing to consider my suggestions and requests for new features. This also allowed me to be involved in custom projects. Active Research Ltd. has grown significantly over these twenty years. Today, type-approved products are achieving great success in the commercial marine sector, and I am proud to have supplied them to large cruise ships and cargo vessels, where reliability is of paramount importance.  Connect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/francesco-farina-8ab252

As a long-standing scouting enthusiast, I have always had a strong interest in hands-on technical work and spending time in the natural environment. Consequently, pursuing a career as a specialist in marine electronics was the only choice.
