Discontinuation of Internet Services - NavNet TZT2 MFD's TZTL12F & TZTL15F

Furuno Japan have advised as of the end of August, 2025 internet connectivity will no longer be available on Furuno NavNet TZTouch2 12 & 15 inch MFD series.

Background:

The TZ Cloud function is hosted by Microsoft Azure. Microsoft have advised that due to security service enhancements they are ending support for TLS V1.0 and V1.1 communication protocol on their servers.

NavNet TZTouch2 MFD’s with CPU architecture designed in 2012 utilizes the TLS1.0/1.1 platform for TZ Cloud connection and due to hardware limitations cannot be updated to use newer versions of TLS.

Consequently, once the Azure TLS V1.0/1.1 service is retired by Microsoft the TZT2 MFD functions related to internet connectivity will no longer be available.

Summary of changes for TZTL12F & TZTL15F After End of Service:

Timing:

The timing for the end of connectivity for TZT2 MFD's is dependent on Microsoft, as above it is currently advised to be end August, 2025.

We will provide confirmation once service has been officially withdrawn by Microsoft.

Impact on Other Products :

Please note the following Series - NavNet TZT2 Black Box,  NavNet TZTouch3 series, NavNet TZT XL series, Time Zero software, TZ iBoat are NOT affected by the above change of service.
