The WLN30 Smart Wireless NMEA Multiplexer revolutionizes marine navigation by seamlessly connecting your boat’s navigation systems to your smartphone, tablet, or other wireless devices. Enhance your onboard connectivity and enjoy real-time data transmission for a smarter, more efficient boating experience.
Seamless Integration with Marine Navigation Systems
The WLN30 is expertly designed to integrate with existing onboard GPS, AIS, and instrument systems. By multiplexing data from three NMEA0183 inputs, it ensures that all your navigation information is transmitted wirelessly to your preferred devices. Whether you’re using an iPad, tablet, or smartphone, compatible apps can display and process real-time navigation data, transforming your device into a comprehensive navigation display.
Reliable and Secure Wireless Connectivity
Creating a secure, password-protected Wi-Fi network onboard, the WLN30 ensures that your navigation data remains safe and accessible only to authorized devices. This secure connection footprint allows multiple devices to access navigation data simultaneously without compromising on performance or security.
Easy Setup and Configuration
Configuring the WLN30 is straightforward with its intuitive web interface. Simply open your web browser, enter the WLN30’s IP address, and customize settings such as baud rates, network name (SSID), password, and access point (AP) mode. No complicated programming or additional software is required. Additionally, you can view received NMEA data directly in your web browser, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.
Support for Multiple Navigation Applications
The WLN30 is fully compatible with a wide array of navigation apps, including Weather4D, TimeZero, iAIS, iSailor, SailGrib, Seapilot, and many others. This compatibility allows you to utilize powerful charting and navigation features, displaying real-time AIS target positions and identity data on detailed electronic charts. With support for the popular Navionics Boating App, you can effortlessly display GPS and AIS data on your Navionics charts for enhanced navigational awareness.
