AWARD-WINNING ANTENNA DELIVERS ON-BOARD CONNECTIVITY

Shakespeare Webwatch

July 10, 2017

WebWatch™, the all-in-one Wi-Fi hotspot, cellular data and high-definition television (HDTV) antenna from Shakespeare®, has ushered in a new era of on-board connectivity. Winner of Boating Industry’s prestigious Top Product award for 2017, the innovative device shares signals for up to 32 users.

WebWatch delivers Internet with speeds up to 4G from a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot or cellular network with a user-supplied data-only SIM card. It provides greater range than a mobile device or laptop.

The integrated receiver switches automatically between Wi-Fi signals and cellular data to maintain and optimize Internet connectivity. WebWatch is easily managed through a web browser or free mobile app.

Its built-in HDTV antenna delivers sharp, high-definition local TV network programming. Because it’s over-the-air digital, WebWatch works during storms when cable and satellite often fail.

WebWatch is universally compatible and simple to set up. Highly efficient, it runs on 12-24V DC and draws a maximum of 1 amp. At only 13″ high, 11.75″ in diameter and 3.85 lbs., it’s easy to fit into crowded deck or tower space. It comes with a 25′ power cord, and 25′ Ethernet and 25′ coax TV cables.

In the USA, WebWatch WCT-1 costs $899.95; WebWatch WC-1 without HDTV is $850.95. Special promotional pricing applies through September.
