LOWRANCE AFFIRMS CONTINUED COMMITMENT FOR DISTRIBUTION AND SUPPORT OF
STRUCTURESCAN™ SONAR IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
Side-scanning and DownScan Imaging™ software and module add-on solution for HDS
displays offers anglers and boaters a unique full-picture view of the
underwater world.
Tulsa, Okla. – Lowrance, a world-leading brand in marine electronics since 1957
and GPS navigational systems since 1992, re-affirmed today that the LSS-1
StructureScan™ sonar imaging module option – compatible with HDS
fishfinder/chartplotter multifunction displays – will continue to be sold,
distributed and fully supported worldwide.
The announcement is a direct response to today’s patent infringement lawsuit
filed against Navico, Inc., by Johnson Outdoors.
Lowrance publicly announced the 2009 availability of LSS-1 StructureScan™ sonar
imaging on February 20, 2009, at the Bassmaster® Classic Expo, held in
Shreveport, La. Additional details – including the DownScan Imaging™ feature of
StructureScan™ sonar imaging for Lowrance HDS displays – were revealed publicly
on July 15, 2009, at the International Convention of Sportfishing Trades
(ICAST), held in Orlando, Fla.
Following the on-time shipment of LSS-1 StructureScan™ sonar imaging in
November 2009, excitement of LSS-1 StructureScan™ sonar imaging continues to
grow as media and dealer demonstrations at marine-industry events have revealed
the unique “full picture” view and other unique features that this add-on
module provides for owners of Lowrance HDS multifunction displays.
The LSS-1 StructureScan™ sonar imaging is based on Navico’s known and reliable
sonar technology, yet it also features additional new technology not available
from others, in a unique add-on module configuration.
“We are confident,” said Louis Chemi, COO for Navico Americas, “in the
uniqueness and value of Lowrance LSS-1 StructureScan™ sonar imaging. We also
wish to assure our customers that the worldwide sale and distribution of
StructureScan™ sonar imaging will absolutely continue as planned with full
Lowrance support for years to come. Navico will vigorously defend the recent
legal proceedings initiated by Johnson Outdoors.”
