Advanced 4G/WiFi Connectivity System with SIM Extender
The 4G onBoard Compact is the all-in-one Internet system for boats that provides 4G connectivity for up to 150 users simultaneously. The compact dome of 25 cm in diameter provides both wireless and wired Internet signal and is remotely activated by the Scout SIM Extender. Thanks to the SIM Extender no matter where the dome is located, the connection is guaranteed by a standard Ethernet cable RJ45 that can reach up to 100 meters without any signal loss. Moreover, the dome provides an additional LAN Ethernet cable to build a wired network inside the boat (suggested for larger boats and aluminium boats).
The SIM Extender can be placed in a position convenient for the user to insert the SIM card and does not require any power cable as it gets power directly through the Ethernet cable. Thanks to Scout SIM Extender it is no longer necessary to access the on-board router to manage the SIM card, this is a particularly useful advantage especially when the Dome is located in a place that is difficult to access. Furthermore thanks to it it’s possible to quickly replace the SIM card when travelling abroad, always using the most suitable SIM card for data consumption and for optimal connectivity. With Scout SIM Extender a more efficient and high-performance planning of the on-board Internet system is possible, thanks to the elimination of radio frequency cables on which the greatest signal losses occur.
The 4G onBoard Compact equips 2 antennas 4G, MIMO technology, carrier aggregation, Cat 6 up to 330 Mbps, WiFi at 2.4 GHz and it’s managed in wireless mode by a user-friendly app available both for iOS (Apple) and Android (or in wired mode through the LAN Ethernet cable). The 4G onBoard Compact is a plug&play system, it only requires a 12V power cable for operation (included), while the indoor unit of the SIM Extender (SIM injector) is powered directly by the Ethernet cable that links it to the dome.
Thanks to the 2 powerful 4G antennas contained inside the dome, the 4G onBoard Compact allows you to stay connected to the 4G network up to 20 miles away from the coast. In the event of a 4G signal failure, the system is also fully backwards compatible with 3G technology.
With the 4G onBoard Compact the boat turns into a professional Internet connectivity centre, thanks to the dedicated high-speed wireless network and an wired network (LAN 100 Mbps). All the new-generation electronic devices can be connected to the Internet network: chartplotters, radios, smart TVs, IP cameras, tablets, smartphones, etc. The 5G connection speed allows easy HD streaming on platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, as well as music streaming services such as Spotify and many others.
Both configuration and remote control of the system can be managed with a new user-friendly app available for iOS (Apple) and Android. Extreme convenience and revolutionary installation method make the 4G onBoard Compact the perfect 4G Internet connectivity system for boats.
