Actisense W2K-1 boasts vessel data benefits
Marine electronic specialist Actisense exhibited the first NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi gateway with voyage data recording at Seawork 2019.
The W2K-1 can transmit NMEA 2000 data using TCP and UPD while also offering support for conversion to NMEA 0183. The voyage data recorder (VDR) means the Wi-Fi gateway has the ability to log a wide variety of vessel data such as position, speed, course, depth, windspeed and engine data.
“No other product on the market can claim both of these features as part of the same device,” said Actisense.
W2K-1 transfers data from an NMEA 2000 backbone to any device connected to it via Wi-Fi.
All the data received (or a selected subset) can be logged to its internal micro SD card for later downloading to use for analysing the voyage. This is useful for analysing race data, generating logbooks, diagnosing problems or sharing your voyage details, said Actisense.
Approximately 16 days of data can be stored on the pre-installed industrial grade micro SD card, which can be upgraded should the user require more storage.
W2K-1 has Actisense “Reliability Built In” along with diagnostic LEDs, internal antenna and enhanced password security.
