Yachts – Internet Connection Control – Need to replace a Livewire Service Selector?

4. October 2012 23:54 / Leave a Comment /

Your yacht may have a Livewire Service Selector for Internet Connection Control (Management) - The Livewire Service Selector models are getting old … I just had a call on one that died. The replacement system is called Access Controller … FB-10 and FB-10 Pro. There have been a number of updates to the platform … as well has maintaining the same look and feel that you would be used to. These systems uniquely can control the older ISDN and Serial Port connections of the Inmarsat Fleet 55, Fleet 77 line of satellite systems. So if you need to maintain that functionality then the FB-10 or FB-10 Pro is probably what you are looking for.

My web page for the Livewire Products is: http://www.marinetelecom.net/Livewire_Service_Selector/ - Yachts can order them directly from me – as well as Marine Electronics Installers and other Yacht Service and Equipment Providers.

* If you have not used the Livewire products before – you will be impressed and delighted if you get one NEW for your vessel.

(from the above cited page link…)

What is the Access Controller FB-10?

The Livewire Connections Access Controller FB-10 is the next step in taking true control of your vessel communications. Whether you run a merchant ship or a luxury yacht, the Access Controller can save you both time and money. It currently comes in 3 versions with the PRO and Rack Mount offering an increased amount of connectivity.

Easy to use

Yes that’s right, you can harness this powerful controller without the need for training courses. Its simple and user friendly interface makes switching connections, applying firewall rules and managing data and duration counters, extremely quick and easy. Everything you need to be able to control your networks data access is available in this single, cleanly designed user interface.

So… The Access Controller FB-10 and FB-10 Pro is (are) the NEW “Livewire Service Selector” and now it is called the “Access Controller” and is again for Marine Vessels of all sorts, commercial, private, and charter boats – Sail and Motor Yachts and Government or Commercial Shipping and Ships. The Livewire Access Controller is the Cats Meow for Marine multiple Internet Connection Vessels. Again please call for pricing if you will install yourself, or for a quote for a complete installation if that is what you need. Thank You!

Marine / Yacht – Cellular Internet and Voice: Ericsson W35 (and Marine Pack) still available throughout 2012

http://www.marinetelecom.net/Ericsson_W35/

The ever popular (on yachts) Ericsson W35 continues to be available through the end of 2012. The Ericsson W35, for those that don’t know, works on GSM (UMTS, HSPA, WCDMA) Cellular Systems worldwide. The system is Quad Band plus 1 (WCDMA) band. The system also provides a connection for Analog Telephone Systems (PBX – Private Branch Exchange) including PBX systems with many extensions used on many yachts. So it not only provides 3G+ Internet which can be connected into an onboard network for everyone aboard, but also provides that “Cell #1″ telephone line for your Telephone System onboard. If you don’t have a telephone system onboard it can be connected to parallel wired standard phone jacks, if available onboard, or used with a single standard telephone set – such as a Cordless Phone.

We continue to be able to provide the Ericsson W35 as well as the complete “Marine Pack” which includes everything needed to install one onboard your marine vessel. This includes Quad Band + Cellular Antenna, LMR 400 Coax Cable, AC and DC power supplies, and adaptors needed to hook it all up.  The system can create an onboard LAN and Wireless all by itself when connected to existing Network onboard, or can be linked through router Internet Control boxes such as Livewire and others (that we can also provide.)

We pride ourselves in being able to integrate multiple Internet sources into a single homogenous (managed, easily maintained) onboard network for all of your wired and portable wireless devices. We can do the installation from the antenna down, or just the network part, or consult on any part of it that you want to do yourself (and for marine dealers doing the install for your vessel.)

* Computer Systems – we can also repair and upgrade as well as replace computer systems used for just about anything onboard your boat. Navigation computers, Camera DVR recording systems, Engineering Monitoring and Control systems, and general Work / Stew / Ships PC computers.

* Satellite Systems – we can install or work with existing Marine Satellite Internet systems … as needed.

* WiFi – We have the Wifiyacht.net : Lightspeed II Marine WiFi Hotspot Sharing System with integrated radio router unit at the antenna in a stainless steel housing … that requires no FAT COAX run … and thus saves the coax cable losses associated with 50 foot + coax cable runs. Power and Network are run down on (now replaceable / repairable) standard CAT5 Network Cable which is easier to pull during the installation. The systems have a 1 year warranty on materials and workmanship that includes replacement should there be a problem in the unit due to the materials or manufacture processes. We leave in many of the features that other Marine WiFi makers take out. For example we could reverse the system and have it be a huge access point for boats around you – sharing one of your own Internet connections to other boats around you.

* We also do Marina Hotspot Systems … and other Wireless Linking Systems on land (and near / across water.)
