Marine Electronics Dealers: you guys should sell our WiFi system as well. I am including for your
viewing pleasure the regular Users Manual and the In-Depth-Guide. Please feel
free to pass this on to anyone in your organization that would be interested.
The in-depth-guide says the following:

*This Marine WiFi System contains a very powerful WiFi Router Main Board.
It is quite possible to use this system all year long as it was intended as a
Marine WiFi Hotspot Sharing System without ever reading the following section at
all. AND MOST USERS SHOULD DO EXACTLY THAT.

But there will be those that want to know more. It is quite possible to
re-configure this unit and share your expensive VSAT or 3G Cellular Internet with the
boat next to you (and the next 6 boats in all directions.) But would you want
to???? It’s like that car that can go 200 miles per hour. You’d never drive it that
fast … but you know you COULD. But besides that there are other settings that some
will want to know what they are and what they do. So here they are…

* System hardware / antenna designed by Bryan Fugett – International Marine
Electronics, System software compiled and maintained by Alan Spicer – Alan
Spicer Marine Telecom.

* We are also working on a Marine Internet Connection Switching System with
partners in the industry … just might be able to compete with Livewire and
such systems. We already have Load Balancing and Failover systems
(WebXAccellerator) with Satellite Internet Connection speed-up capability (Proxy
and Compression.) This system is being used as a base to morph into a general
Marine Internet Connection Switching Appliance.

* In other news … Alan Spicer Marine Telecom has acquired http://www.wifiyacht.com which just recently
became available to augment the existing http://www.wifiyacht.net that we already
have had operational for a number of years.

Ericsson W35 released in the USA. This you’ve gotta
SEE!!
Better looking presentation than W25 (you might not want to
hide
this one in the Doghouse!) + High Speed Upload which
the W25 did not
have.
