Siren Marine and Morey Partner for Connected Boats
19 December 2016 - IoT hardware solutions provider Morey announced today it has been named the hardware partner for Siren Marine’s next-generation boat monitoring, tracking and security product. Designed by boaters, for boaters, Siren Marine’s suite of monitoring products allow boat owners, fleet operators and boat builders to track a boat’s location, receive alerts when critical events occur, access engine metrics and control onboard devices remotely.
“The Siren Marine team has been working nonstop to introduce a new, IoT-enabled monitoring and tracking solution for boaters,” said Siren Marine Founder and CEO Dan Harper (above), who spent more than 20 years as a professional yacht captain. “As pioneers of the ‘Connected Boat,’ Siren Marine is revolutionizing the boat ownership experience by providing boat owners with remote access to critical and timely information about their boats. Our goal at Siren Marine is to bring boaters peace of mind and more time on the water.”
Siren Marine’s monitoring device connects to sensors around the boat and sends alerts to phones, tablets or computers when critical conditions occur, such as water in the bilge, high/low temperature and unauthorized access to name a few. Onboard devices, including lights or air conditioning can be controlled remotely; and the built-in GPS tracks the position and movement of the vessel. New features include wireless sensors, fleet management, video capture, satellite connectivity, and a National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) interface.
Morey is supporting the project through design engineering, production readiness and manufacturing services to bring prototype product designs to market via its innovation center and manufacturing facility in suburban Chicago. The ruggedized hardware and GPS technologies will work together to reliably analyze and transmit data to a user’s mobile application to provide security, protect the owner’s investment and protect passengers.
“Morey stands on the promise of bringing innovation to industry and this product line is going to revolutionize the boating experience,” said Morey President Dana Morey (left). “We find it incredibly rewarding to partner with Siren Marine, combining their first-in-market technology offering with our 20 years of wireless hardware expertise.”

Greenwave Systems and Nuance Deliver Voice-Powered IoT
12 December 2016 – Nuance Communications, a leading provider of voice and language solutions and Greenwave Systems, a global Internet of Things (IoT) software and managed services company, today announced the integration of Nuance’s technology into Greenwave’s IoT Platform.
Greenwave has integrated the Nuance Mix voice and AI-powered natural language understanding (NLU) technologies into its award-winning AXON Platform for managed service. Working together, Nuance and Greenwave will provide communications service providers with the ability to create new conversational Internet of Things (IoT) services, devices and experiences in enterprises, industrial settings and in the smart home. The union brings deeply integrated voice capabilities to the IoT.
Greenwave’s AXON Platform already powers millions of advanced networks. It is used by leading telecom, cable and utilities service providers to power their managed services for audio, video, broadband and energy management systems. Integrating Nuance’s technology gives service providers the ability to offer seamless connectivity between IoT devices and services, allowing things and services talk to each other and people to converse with their apps, services and devices.
Integrated solutions made incredibly intelligent through data-driven AI let service providers maximize a frictionless experience between humans and their technology. Within the smart home or the enterprise, this collaboration between Greenwave and Nuance will deliver bespoke virtual personal assistants that are conversational, intelligent and easily integrated into any IoT environment.
“Voice control and activation is the most natural and intuitive interface,” said Christos Lagomichos, Chief Operating Officer, Greenwave Systems (above). “With several products, services and standards making their way into the home, we found that adding the multi-language capability from Nuance to be the solution that helps us meet the demand from our global operators providing IoT to their consumers. The same is true of industrial use cases and complicated enterprise IoT applications. Voice-based interfaces ease engagement. Together with Nuance, we’re empowering service providers with the ability to deliver unique yet powerful IoT experiences that are intelligent, conversational and deliver on the promise of ubiquitous connectivity.”
Nuance Mix combines Nuance’s voice recognition, text-to-speech, wake-up word, voice biometrics, signal enhancement and AI-powered NLU into a single scalable and customizable platform. The platform is data-driven and leverages user speech data to quickly learn and understand human language. Service providers have access to that data to drive new innovations or features.
“Service providers have a clear opportunity to lead the smart home market with services already central to today’s connected home,” said Dan Faulkner, Senior Vice President, Communications Service Providers, Nuance Mobile (left). “What’s long been missing is a flexible and scalable platform that isn’t closed or proprietary. One that makes it possible for a variety of smart home systems to talk to each other. Our collaboration with Greenwave changes all of that. It gives service providers their opportunity to create and deliver unique home automation and IoT offerings that are conversational and customizable.”
