W2K-1 NMEA 2000® to Wi-Fi Gateway
The W2K-1 is a rugged and reliable NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi Gateway with built-in data logger and Actisense-i diagnostic tools.
Transfer data from an NMEA 2000 backbone to any device (e.g laptop, tablet or smartphone) connected to the W2K-1 via Wi-Fi and additionally convert this data to NMEA 0183 using Actisense’s renowned conversion engine. Actisense-i is a suite of diagnostic tools and health checker for your network.
Fully compatible with the industry’s most popular apps.
*The W2K-1 has been superceded by the W2K-2.
Fully NMEA 2000 Certified
The W2K-1 has built-in conversion of NMEA 2000 messages into NMEA 0183 sentences, allowing a wide variety of vessel data (e.g., position, speed, course, wind speed, depth, engine data, AIS messages, etc.) to be shared with NMEA 0183 compatible software applications running on connected devices.
All the data received (or a selected subset) can be logged to its internal micro SD card for later downloading and analysis of the voyage.
This feature is very useful for analysing race data, generating logbooks, diagnosing problems, or sharing voyage details.
Approximately 16 days* of data can be stored on the pre-installed industrial grade micro SD card, which can be upgraded if more storage is required.
Actisense-i comes included as standard. It provides a full suite of diagnostic tools to check and diagnose potential issues on a boat’s electronics network, including voltage issues and the working status of all connected devices.
Actisense-i is designed to save installers and boaters time and money by giving confidence in onboard electronics.
The W2K-1 features Actisense “Reliability Built-In,” useful diagnostic LEDs, an internal antenna, enhanced password security, full certification, and is packaged in an extremely rugged IP67 case.
The demand for wireless connectivity is forever growing in the marine industry, with a significant rise in wireless applications following this. The requirements vary, from wireless data streaming to a secondary device/display, through to remote connectivity and monitoring of vessels and their logs.
The Actisense W2K-1 Wireless gateway is an ideal, cost effective, out of the box solution which requires minimal configuration.
A common scenario with the W2K-1 is the user requiring connection to their mobile phone/tablet to use an application such as Navionics. This is done in a few easy steps where the W2K-1 is set-up to output in NMEA 0183 via one of the data servers via TCP. The IP address of the W2K-1 and the Port Number of the Data Server are then entered into the application and the connection is made.
As the W2K-1 can act as a client (connects as a device to an existing IP Network), an IP address can be automatically assigned to it (if DHCP). Using this, if the user has remote access to the network from their office/home, the network can be viewed by connecting to the W2K-1, where the battery status, device list and other pieces of info are all listed.
The W2K-1 has an internal SD Card supplied as standard (8GB), which is expandable up to 128GB. Logging, when enabled, will record every single piece of NMEA 2000 data that flows through the network into an EBL (Electronic Binary Log) file. These logs can then be accessed remotely via connecting to the W2K-1, enabling post journey analysis and processing of vessel data.
In summary, if you need a wireless gateway that supports multiple data formats, has data logging and diagnostic tools all in one low cost device, then the W2K-1 is an ideal choice.
