At Cyclops Marine, we're driven by the pursuit of precision, performance, and progress. As the marine industry continues to embrace digital transformation, our technology is evolving rapidly - becoming not just more advanced, but also more accessible and sustainable.

Our latest release, the Micro Gateway: a compact, rugged device that wirelessly connects your Cyclops sensors to your onboard systems, streaming live load data straight to your instruments or smartphone. It's powerful, it's affordable, and it's built to help sailors at every level sail faster, safer, and smarter.

Smarter Technology, Streamlined Design

The Micro Gateway is the result of years of development, sailor feedback, and constant refinement. It does everything the original Cyclops Gateway did - only better, smaller, and tougher.

Over 65% smaller, 70% lighter, and 21% more affordable than the original Cyclops Gateway, the new Micro Gateway, it delivers real time rig load data from up to 30 wireless sensors, seamlessly integrated into your NMEA 2000 network. Maximise speed, protect your rig, and take the guesswork out of high performance sailing.

By shrinking the hardware and refining the internal architecture, we've boosted durability and improved connectivity. Setup is now done through the current Cyclops App, making the process significantly easier and quicker.

The original Gateway set the standard. The Micro Gateway redefines it - built for tough conditions, fully waterproof, and ready to deliver pro level performance in a smaller footprint.

Designing Smarter from the Start

Sustainability isn't new at Cyclops, it's how we've always designed. From day one, we've focused on durability, modularity, and software driven upgrades to extend product life and reduce waste. The Micro Gateway is no exception - lighter, simpler, and built for long term use, without compromise.

A Growing Business for a Growing Market

Technology on board isn't just about winning - it's about confidence, control, and safety. As more sailors discover the benefits of live load data, demand is rising across the spectrum from cruising families to pro teams.

Cyclops Marine is proud to be at the forefront of this shift. Our products are trusted by Olympic campaigns, grand prix race teams, superyachts, and cruisers alike to sail smarter, protect their rig, and get the most out of every mile.

Looking Ahead

The Micro Gateway proves that smarter tech doesn't have to cost more. It's a glimpse of where marine electronics are heading: smaller, simpler, tougher, and more sustainable.

And we're just getting started. As the pace of innovation accelerates, Cyclops Marine is committed to leading from the front - one smart design at a time.

Smaller. Smarter. Even more connected.
