At the recent 2025 National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) Conference and Expo, held from 22-26 September in West Palm Beach, Florida, marine electronics specialists Actisense took home two awards. 

Winning the Product of Excellence Award for Best NMEA 2000 Sensory was the firm’s NGX-1, a dual NMEA 2000 gateway and converter. The NGX-1 replaces the previous NGW-1 and NGT-1 product lines. Since its launch, the product has become a widely adopted solution, allowing boaters to connect legacy NMEA 0183 equipment with modern NMEA 2000 systems. 

Actisense, with 28 years of experience under its belt, also secured the title of Manufacturer of the Year for the fourth consecutive time, following previous wins in Providence, Anaheim, and Orlando. The award recognises the company’s quality, customer support and innovation in connectivity and data management solutions. 

The company has recently expanded its range with a customisable NMEA dashboard available across its IP-connected products. 

Phil Whitehurst, CEO of Actisense, comments: “To win a Product of Excellence Award for such a popular product is wonderful validation from the NMEA community. We love to solve key connectivity challenges, and to have that work appreciated in this way by our customers and supporters means a great deal to our whole team. To top that off by receiving the Manufacturer of the Year Award too is absolutely icing on the cake!”

Andy Campbell, chief engineer at Actisense, accepted the award and shares: “With all these bright minds from the marine electronics community in one place, the NMEA Conference & Expo continues to be the best place to bring the sector together to learn, celebrate each other’s latest innovations and reconnect.
