With one computing hub that’s on your wrist at all times, and many other devices that are simply accessories for your wrist, Neptune Suite allows you to be the center of your computing life.
This is the start of a new computing era.
Neptune Suite consists of:
Neptune Hub
With a powerful quad-core processor, as well as support for 3G/LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and NFC, Neptune Hub is the world’s first true personal computer.
Pocket Screen
Much like a mouse, a keyboard, or a computer monitor, the Pocket screen is simply an interface for your Hub. It’s not very smart, it doesn’t need to be. With a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen as well as rear and front-facing cameras, the Pocket screen gives you an experience that’s equivalent to a smartphone.
Tab Screen
With a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen as well as a front-facing camera, the Tab screen gives you an experience that’s equivalent to a tablet.
Neptune Keys
Neptune Keys is a wireless keyboard that may be used on its own with the Dongle or paired with the Tab screen to provide a full laptop experience.
Tab & Keys
Open the metal ledge on Neptune Keys, insert your Tab screen, and you can enjoy a laptop experience.
Neptune Dongle
Neptune Dongle is an HDMI dongle that turns any existing computer monitor or TV into another screen for your Hub, allowing you to enjoy a full desktop or smart TV experience.
Neptune Headset is a wireless pair of headphones, designed to be a fashionable necklace. When not in use, the two earbuds can snap magnetically together to form a pendant. No more constant untangling or wrapping headphone cords around your smartphone.
Your Entire Computing Life
Now With A Seamless Experience
With Neptune Suite, you no longer need to sync between all your devices, as you’re always using the same computing hub, just on different screen sizes. You may also start an application on one device, and seamlessly transition to another. No need to go through the hassle of relaunching any apps or worrying about your progress.
As personal files and apps are always on your wrist, a lost or stolen device no longer means lost or stolen data. Devices are much cheaper as well, as they don’t have all the expensive computing and connectivity components anymore.
New Bare Minimum
Neptune Hub allows you to make calls, send messages, stay connected with your social networks, track fitness stats, and much more, all directly on your wrist – all on its own. Your Pocket screen is now optional; carry it with you only if it’s really needed.
Lightning Fast Messages
Contact Slide
Neptune Hub allows you to send short messages in a simplified way. With Contact Slide, a pressure sensor strip on the side of the Hub, you may access any recent contact in a single action, by simply sliding your finger on the strip and pressing harder when you see the right contact highlighted. Then, you may choose to either quickly scribble a message, or simply use your voice to send a short snippet. Voice dictation is also supported.
Power
Neptune Suite allows your devices to have reduced power consumption overall, contributing both to battery life as well as the environment.
Although your Hub has roughly half the battery capacity of a smartphone, its power consumption is also reduced by half as it doesn’t have any large LCD or OLED display*.
This makes the battery life of your Hub roughly similar to that of a smartphone.
Your other devices consume much less power as well, as they don’t have any computing (processors, RAM, storage) or connectivity (3G/LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, etc.)
They have more space in them as a result, allowing them to have bigger batteries (the Pocket screen and the Tab screen have battery capacities of 2,800 mAh and 7,000 mAh, respectively). They may also act as portable battery packs for your Hub (1,000 mAh), recharging it when it needs power.
With a combined battery capacity of 10,800 mAh, Neptune Suite can easily last multiple days of usage on a single charge without needing to use any wall outlets.
*The display on a conventional smartphone has a power consumption that is usually around the vicinity of 1W. The Hub’s equivalent, a WiGig chip streaming to another device, averages around 100mW, one tenth of that of a usual screen.
Charge Multiple Devices At Once With Your Headset
Neptune Headset is a wireless necklace headset that doubles as a charging cord. With 3 charging points, it allows you to charge up to 3 devices, including the Headset itself, all at once using a single power outlet.
The World’s Most Advanced OS
One Hub, Infinite Possibilities
This is only the beginning of a whole new computing era. Imagine a world where devices are so commoditized that they’re just part of the environment. They can be everywhere; in your home, at the office, in your car, in restaurants, shopping malls, schools… Need a screen? Simply find one and use it as yours.
Devices are also a lot more easier to design and produce, enabling product designers and manufacturers to potentially create an infinite variety of devices. Screens can be embedded into household appliances, cars, walls, and much more. Everything will become smart, by simply becoming accessories for your wrist.

WiGig
A Revolutionary Wireless Protocol
Neptune Hub uses WiGig, a revolutionary wireless protocol operating in the 60GHz frequency band, to interface with other displays and devices. WiGig provides multi-gigabit speeds of up to 7Gbps, with non-perceptible latency. This is the key technological enabler for the Neptune Suite to be realized, as previous streaming protocols simply did not have the throughput or the latency levels required to make this feasible.

About Us
A little bit more than a year ago back in November 2013, we introduced Neptune Pine, the world’s first standalone smartwatch, on Kickstarter and raised more than $800,000 in a month. Thanks to the amazing help and support we’ve gotten, Pine started shipping in June 2014, and was successfully delivered to all backers by the end of the year. It is now widely available through retail outlets such asAmazon and Best Buy.
Progress
We’ve been working on Neptune Suite for well over a year now, and we’ve come a long way in design and development. We need your help and support once again to raise awareness of this awesome new paradigm and bring this vision to life!

Why Indiegogo?
Shortly after the successful launch of Neptune Duo last month, the folks at Indiegogo approached us and offered us to launch Neptune Suite on its world-renowned crowdfunding platform. It soon became clear that we just couldn’t say no to this tremendous opportunity, and that’s why we’ve decided to merge the existing success of Duo with this campaign for Neptune Suite*.
Now with more than 47,060 proud supporters worldwide, the Neptune community has been growing faster than ever! Be sure to join our community by liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, or subscribing to our newsletter atgetneptune.com
*The funds raised from Neptune Duo backers from February 17, 2015 until March 10, 2015 were reflected on this campaign at launch.
