ABOUT
THE MR MARINE GROUP
MR Marine Group was established in Sydney Australia in 1998, as a Marine
Business to cater for niche markets in the Australian Marine Industry.
Initially MR Marine developed products in the PC Navigation Market.
MR Marine developed and sold products such as the InView Marine PC,
InView High Brightness Marine Displays, and InView Waterproof Keyboards.
InView PC Systems were used on many Superyachts, as well on Sydney to
Hobart winning Maxi Racing Yachts such as Alfa Romeo 1 and 2, and Skania
Wildthing.
MR Marine also was the Australian Distributor for a number of products
including Nobeletc Navigation Software, Sounders and Radars,
Maretron NMEA 2000 Products and Ship-Modul NMEA 2000 Multiplex
Equipment.
As market trends changed, MR Marine moved into Satellite TV Antennas in
2008. Importing custom built antenna from South Korea and marking
them under the OCEAN TV brand. MR Marine worked closely with the
Korean Factory developing and improving OCEAN TV Satellite TV Antennas
for the Australian Market, selling over 1800 by 2013.
In late 2013 it was decided to develop our our Satellite TV Antennas
under the OCEAN TV brand and move manufacturng away from Korea.
During 2014, a new factory was set up in Asia, and a new range of OCEAN
TV "HD" series antennas were developed.
After 12 months of R & D both in Asia and in Sydney Australia, the first
OCEAN TV O45HD was released in Australia in 2015, featuring many
advanced features such as a Custom Australian Spec Quad LNB, Aut Skew of
the LNB, on board GPS, and advanced Silent Motors. In 2016 the
OCEAN TV O60HD wa salso released. Over the next 5 years years the
antennas were updated and improved in many ways including software
development for improved tracking and small hardware improvements for
better reliability. Over 1500 antennas were sold in the next 4
years in Australia, with our factory in Asia also making around an
additional 3000 antennas a year for other brands in teh European and
Asian Market.
When COVID hit the world, it was decided to build the OCEAN TV antennas
for the Australian, New Zealand and UAE Markets locally on the Gold
Coast, from local and globally souced components. This allowed
further improvements including the introduction of a remote panel for
the Antenna Controller, further software development for the Australia
Market, and the painting of all Antenna domes to an automotive standard.
Since 2020, approx 1200 Australian Built Antennas have been sold in
Australia,m New Zealand and UAE Markets.
At the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in 2023, the OCEAN NET 5G LTE Product
was released. Featuring two Custom Designed and Manufactured 5G
Antennas that cover all world 3G, 4G, LTE and 5G frequencies, and a
world leading Industrial Dual SIM Router, OCEAN NET ill fit indise a
45cm or larger Satellite TV dome, or is available as a External Stand
alone System.
OCEAN NET was developed as an viable alternative to StarLink Satellite
Internet. The average boating person in Australia does not need
expensive satellite internet, so OCEAN NET was developed using the
Australian Cellular Network, giving coverage on the Australian East
Coast from Southern Tasmania to Cooktown in North Queensland, and up to
70km off shore while traveling. OCEAN NET like OCEAN TV was
developed to be compatible with markets other than Australia, and is
compatible with all Cellular Networks World Wide.
