4G Connect – Pro model

KEY FEATURES

4G Connect is a new 2G/3G/4G (LTE) internet access solution to get internet for your boat.  It utilises the latest MIMO technology with dual antennas for fast, long range access and incorporates a full function WiFi router so multiple devices can connect wirelessly.  There is also a wired LAN port and WAN port – for connection to high power WiFi devices or satellite modems.

The Pro model ships with two external hi gain antennas for exceptional long range performance and is the recommended solution for use afloat.

4G Connect has an easy to use interface and is unlocked so users are free to fit a data SIM card from any mobile provider they choose. However, during our testing, we have found that the lower frequencies used by the Vodafone network coupled with a competitive European data roaming allowance, offer the best maritime solution for European cruising yachtsman.

Operation is simple – turn on, connect to the password protected WiFi hotspot that 4G Connect creates and your device is online for internet for your boat. Digital Yacht’s WL510 high power WiFi solution can also be connected to the WAN port for a choice between hotspot WiFi and 4G connectivity.  iKommunicate can also connect to the LAN port providing boat NMEA data on the WiFi network for use with navigation apps.
