WiFi hotspot kit (mobile antenna)

€0.00

Tax included

A kit that doesn't require installation and can be moved around, enabling you to considerably improve the range of your wifi connection from a boat, a vehicle or on vacation.
Once the remote wifi network ("hotspot") has been selected, the Internet connection is repatriated to a small local wifi router, enabling everyone to connect as if to a box at home.
The kit is fully configurable and can be used with a smartphone, tablet or PC/MAC.

Overview

This complete connection kit enables you to pick up the signal from public WiFi hotspots** more efficiently from your boat. It is comparable to the fixed antenna kit, butavoids the need to permanently install an outdoorantenna with its own cable routing. It can easily be moved from one boat to another if required.

It provides much better Internet access (for iPad, PC, smartphone or other tablet) at anchor or in port... provided, of course, that there's a public access point not too far away.
It lets you share the connection with the whole crew from a single access point.
Once the devices are connected to the on-board network, they will have access to the Internet as soon as it becomes available, either via a hotspot or a 3/4G key (not supplied).

Its small antenna can be held in the hand or attached with suction cups to the outside (or even inside the cabin) while the Internet is in use.

Despite its small size, this antenna provides equivalent gain to that of the fixed kit. Note, however, that this is a directional antenna, and must be pointed in the direction of the hotspot. This characteristic makes it less suitable for use at anchor than the kit with omnidirectional fixed antenna: it is best used in a harbor when the boat is not moving.

The Ethernet cable connection between the antenna and its access point eliminates the need for a coaxial cable and therefore signal loss: system performance is identical whatever the length of Ethernet cable used.

Kit composition

The complete kit consists of :

a WiFi router for installation in the boat
an external antenna with integrated amplifier/access point
