The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic product, but it is built with an emphasis on education and 'home hacking'. It lacks certain features found in the Ocean. Raspberry Pis do not have built-in Bluetooth or Wifi, and do not come with an on-board power source. While you can purchase cases for them, these cases are rarely designed with portability in mind. Exposed GPIO pins tend to bend in your pocket. A Raspi can be augmented with additional hardware to equal the feature set of the Ocean, but this hardware will compromise the portability of the Pi.

The Ocean is designed specifically to function as a mobile server and thus HDMI has been removed completely. The primary motivation was to save power, but also to provide an additional level of security.

The battery can also provide up-to 2 days of continuous CPU usage. If used as a power bank mode, it can fully charge an iPhone 6 1.33 times.

The range of the antenna is about 10m. However, range of a RF signal is dependent on a wide range of factors such as orientation, direction, and interferences caused by objects placed between the transmitter and receiver.

With the 2.1A micro USB cable, it takes 4-5 hours to completely charge the battery. With a Qi Wireless charging module, capable of providing 1000mA, it will take at least 10 hours.

We ship Ocean with Linux Debian 8.1 (Jessie). That doesn’t mean you cannot run any other Linux flavours on the Ocean. Just as a few examples, you can run Ubuntu, Raspbian, or even Android on Ocean.

Yes. While the Ocean case is designed to prevent easy tampering, it can still be taken apart with a Torx screwdriver. You can then remove the main PCB with a Philips screwdriver. This will provide enough space for you to replace the Micro SD card.

You can use our web dashboard to fully control your Ocean. Alternatively you can access all your data using REST API. You can even use SSH to directly access Ocean.
