Networked Boat X4G

The Networked Boat EXTREME 4G (X4G) combines a best in class high-powered Marine Wi-Fi solution with a best in class high-powered 3G/4G system.  All wireless equipment is managed through one intelligent Marine router that can determine the best signal, connect to the Internet (Watch Web TV, surf, use web cams, print) and rebroadcast through a private Wi-Fi network on your boat. (view more images link above for system diagram)

Why would you need this?  Simple – 1) when your boat is docked at or near a BBX, Beacon Wi-Fi or other Wi-Fi system you can connect your Networked Boat X4G to the Internet through Wi-Fi.  This way you can enjoy the blazing speed (up to 50 mbps), unlimited data downloads, web cam access, etc., of a solid Wi-Fi network. 2) when you are away from shore, under way or your Marina has an unprofessional Wi-Fi installation, you can connect your Networked Boat X4G to the Internet through the Cellular network (3G/4G) by plugging in a standard USB 3G/4G card* to the Marine Router. You can enjoy a further range of coverage even through your speed will be slower, fees will be higher and you will have less services.  BUT if you need coverage where there is no BBX, Beacon Wi-Fi or other Wi-Fi system, you can still get connected.

You can set your Marine router to automatically switch to 3G/4G when not connected to a Wi-Fi Network or you can manually tell it to use Wi-Fi or 3G/4G with any easy-to-use interface.
