| NetLink Technologies, Inc. (registered to do
business as Technical Innovations) is owned by Jerry
and Cecile Smith of Chevy Chase, Maryland U.S.A.
Technical Innovations has been producing and selling
the HOME-DOME and PRO-DOME line of observatories
since 1992. A small, family-owned business, we focus
100% on astronomy domes and automation equipment.
Our observatories are designed to use the strength,
appearance and long life of (marine grade)
fiberglass. A highly skilled partner firm, with over
thirty years experience in industrial fiberglass
production, manufactures the dome sections under our
close supervision. All electronic components are
hand built by our skilled and experienced staff. The
overall quality has reached a level that allows us
to offer a full one-year warranty on all electronic
products, compared to the industry standard of 90
days on this type equipment. We have the ability to
repair or replace any part or product ever produced
by the company, even as items become obsolete and
replaced by newer designs.
Our products are shipped around the world, with
domes in more than 50 countries, (see interactive
map on Home page - selected above
or to the left). The RoboFocus
auto-focusing system for telescopes is now in use on
all 7 continents, having shipped 5 units to the
French research station in Antarctica. Technical
Innovations works with dealers and agents around the
world, most often telescope dealers, to make our
products as available as possible to astronomers
anywhere on Earth. Some of these dealers have even
translated assembly and instruction manuals into
their local language. We are committed to improving
and evolving our entire product line in order to
continue meeting the changing needs of amateur and
professional astronomers. |
| We are committed to the advancement of astronomy.
We believe that a comfortable observer with a
permanent equipment setup will be a more productive
and active astronomer. We promise you a
well-designed, affordable observatory, made to the
highest standards. We stand ready to discuss your
special needs, and to share our knowledge so that
your dome installation will be a success. We promise
courteous service, and prompt attention to any
problems you may experience. We continually seek
user comments to improve our design and develop new
products. Our number one commitment is to customer
service. We will do everything we can to be sure you
are satisfied with our products. |
| This web site is dedicated to our son Christian
Hyun Smith, who lost his battle with cancer in 2001
at the age of 12. He will forever be a part of
everything we do. "Those who show
strength and character, even in the most difficult
of times, and inspire others with their courage are
the kind of people others look up to as true
heroes."
