![]() ![]() You can keep it on all the time, regardless of the charge state of your batteries. So, one device - one task.īut it is easy to set up and it saves power. This device is built with respect to the old sailors' adage: one rope - one job. There is nothing extra, but there is all that you need. Power than your iPad Air but can't play a movie from YouTube. It has a limited number of Wi-FiĬonnections (which can be avoided with any Wi-Fi router), but you don't pay extra money and use excess electricity for a powerful device which eats more Ports with individual NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 filters to create an individualized configuration for different applications. It has an embedded web server for set-up and three TCP or UDP server There are no built-in hardware multiplexers of NMEA 0183, USB or Ethernet ports and so on. It is just a gateway from NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi with optional NMEA 0183 bi-directional conversion. Why is our Gateway priced at only $189 USD, two or three times less than competitors?īecause there is nothing extra. ![]() Standards are not free, but anybody can purchase a copy and start making software or hardware. You don't need any proprietary software.Īll protocols in our gateway are open and documented (as well as in our USB Gateway). We like EDO Instruments iPad app which can showĪll necessary navigation data and transform the iPad into an instrument display. Usually mobile apps cost below $20 and even the top rated iNavX costsīelow $20 this summer in the App Store. We have no idea why hardware companies invest in development of software, when many nice products are already available.Ī marine software company with 20 years of history has more chances to offer a good software product than a hardware company. You can download a free iPhone app locked forĪstra GAMP 2000 ESA (599 EUR) or a free app for DMK Box ($399). Some manufactures offer their own software with their gateways. YouĬan also connect our Gateway to an existing Wi-Fi network, if you need to avoid the Wi-Fi client number limitation on our device. Want to get more applications connected? Most applications support UDP protocol, and our gateway does too the number of UDP clients is unlimited. Our gateway supports up to three Wi-Fi clients and up to nine TCP data connections at the same time, along with having an internal web server. ![]() You also need to power the microcontroller that manages the Wi-Fi and TCP/IP, etc. Of course, this is just power for the antenna, How much electricity is required for this? 8 mA at 12 VDC is 100 mW. An IPhone has a 65-mW Wi-Fi signal and an internalĪntenna. 800 mA is excessive for one device.ĭo you really need so much power? When two devices communicate, quality depends on the weaker one. So, actually we use 100 A/h for all the devices on board - chart plotter, AIS, sensors, refrigerator, water pumps, lights in the saloon and To extend battery life, we should avoid 50% discharge. A 40-foot sailing yacht usually has two 100 A/h service batteries. But this gateway has power consumption of 800 mA againstĤ3 mA for our product. SeaSmart Wireless NMEA 2000 Interface Module ($495)Īlso has a lot of ports and features. Powerful Wi-Fi and Powerful Gateway? You don't need it! And we have no idea what to connect to the two other NMEA 0183 inputs and outputs. Widescreen, the input of one NMEA 0183 port is used for Navtex and the output of another port is used to send position to the stationary On our 40-foot sailing yacht with a Raymarine C90 Have 2-3 NMEA 0183 ports and forward the data to NMEA 2000 in the opposite direction. Shipmodul MiniPlex-3Wi-N2K ($429) seems very attractive if you are really in need Some gateways are equipped with a built-in multiplexer and have multiple NMEA 0183 hardware ports in addition to a NMEA 2000 port. Multiple hardware ports? You do not need it! SEAiq Open IPhone app connected to YDWG-02 Why it is a better choice for you? Read below! Let's look what others offer and why you don't need them. Yes, this is one more Wi-Fi Gateway on the market. JRevolutionary N2K Wi-Fi Gateway is on stock ![]()
