LITTLE BRITISH COMPANY MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MARINE ELECTRONICS THANKS TO KICKSTARTER

NMEA Wifi Gateway

 

Oct 31, 2017

Wi-Fi for your boat has come a long way. We don’t just mean your connection to the online world, we’re talking about connecting to the wealth of information from your boat’s instruments. Imagine an encyclopaedia attached to the outside wall of your house. Useful? Yes. Convenient? No. Now imagine that encyclopaedia in your pocket. Would you be more likely to interact with all that information now that it’s convenient and portable, wherever you are on the boat? Absolutely. This is the idea around connecting instruments to smart devices via Wi-Fi. It’s a super convenient way to access all that lovely information about your boat, its surroundings, and the voyages you have dreamed of.

Enter TeamSurv, a little British company that’s making a big difference. After having reviewed devices already on the market for use with their forthcoming app, they decided that they could do better, using the latest developments in electronics technology. Launched through Kickstarter, it’s come on the scene to provide a real alternative. It costs less than any of the leading brands and has just as many, if not more, Wi-Fi features. It doesn’t, however, include a multiplexer, or Seatalk or NMEA2000 interfaces, as most people don’t really need them. It works with virtually all apps, including the forthcoming TeamSurv app. It’s Wi-fi for the many, not the few.

“We’ve developed this as the first of a range of hardware products to produce a high quality but cost-effective way for people to connect apps to their instruments, including our forthcoming TeamSurv app.” – Tim Thornton, Director
