Buzz Marine expands range
The UK’s broadband solutions company, Buzz Marine, has added a new internal unit to its range, the free standing Hubba, designed for portable onboard 3G broadband reception.
The new unit, which can be located in the cabin, will provide the vessel with Wi-Fi broadband. Unlike its predecessor, the HubbaX, the Hubba is not water resistant and should not be located on deck but has the advantage of being free standing and mobile.
Steve Smith, managing director, Buzz Marine, said: “As it becomes increasingly important for boat owners to stay connected while cruising, and to be able to do so at a speed similar to that experienced at home, the Hubba offers an economical solution through utilising 3G networks to access an internet connection which can be easily connected to your favourite devices.”
Buzz Marine has used unique patented aerial technology and 3G networks via an internal SIM card to enable the Hubba to provide users with ADSL equivalent broadband speeds up to four times the connectivity of an internal SIM in an iPad or laptop mobile connector.
The versatile unit can be powered by the vessels 12v system or standard mains power point with the 12v DC powerpack.
The Hubba continually searches for the best signal and can provide broadband connection up to 20 miles offshore, making it ideal for coastal and near shore orientated workboat operators.
