CNN Money-- Cobra Electronics
(Nasdaq: COBR) today announced the launch of a new marine product that will
revolutionize the way boaters communicate. The patent-pending MR F300 BT
handset uses Cobra’s exclusive MicroBlue(TM) technology that enables boaters
to have loud and clear non-emergency phone conversations while underway. Set to debut at the 2008 Marine Aftermarket Accessories Trade Show, July
16-18 in Las Vegas, the MR F300 BT pairs Bluetooth(R) wireless technology with
a combination microphone/speaker handset. Incoming phone call audio is routed
through the speaker, and outgoing voice audio is relayed through the
noise-canceling microphone. The unique ability to make and receive phone calls
over even the noisiest engine allows boaters to keep their mobile phones
tucked away from the threat of water damage. "The MR F300 BT is the first-of-its-kind in the marine category and
addresses a significant on-the-water need," said Tony Mirabelli, senior vice
president of marketing and sales for Cobra. "The product helps boaters tackle
the communication challenges posed by the noisy marine environment, without
interrupting the boating experience."
