Alan Spicer Marine Telecom on the web site: http://www.wifiyacht.net (or http://www.wifiyacht.com) proudly produces, with Bryan Fugett - Internation Marine Electronics,

The LIGHTSPEED II Marine WiFi Hotspot Sharing System.

* It uses zero coax cable to the antenna so no coax cable loss. How do we do it? Why do we do it? (Because we can my brother would say.)

* Because coax cable, no matter how good causes loss of transmitting and receiving signal between your boat and the WiF Hotspot System. 3 dB of loss is 1/2 of your signal. Ask your WiFi system provider how many dB of signal you are throwing away warming up that nice long LMR400 Coax cable.

* Because having less WiFi signal loss is better. And we want you to have the best on your sail or motor yacht.

* WiFi is often faster (more bandwidth, more speed) than other Internet methods … AND … it can save money over other Internet connection methods on a marine vessel. We know this because we work with multiple marine Internet access systems. We work with 3G Cellular … we work with Satellite Systems … and we work with Onboard Networks (or we create them!)

While we’re talking about Marine Mobile Broadband Routers it seems appropriate to mention the “LightSpeed II” by Alan Spicer Marine Telecom and International Marine Electronics. A tag team of experts that work out where your “wheels” (your propellers) meet the “water”. We have been installing Marine WiFi Internet Systems for quite a few years and thus have had experience with several common products used for this purpose. We won’t say anything about anyone elses products and we hope they won’t have anything bad to say about ours.

We call this NO COMPROMISE MARINE WIFI because we found a number of compromises even in systems that we designed, produced, and sold. That’s not to say that they didn’t work. But we wanted to make this product BETTER. So we hope you will give ours a try on your marine vessel.

Our web page for this is: http://www.wifiyacht.net

Please call if you have any questions…

Happy Holidays to everyone!

As pertaining to WiFi Hotspot connectivity onboard marine vessels (sail and motor yachts), often you will be using an external antenna and a WiFi Sharing System (WiFi Hotspot Sharing Router)

If you are *somewhere* and you are experiencing trouble connecting, consider the following. You have a bigger antenna than most, definately bigger than laptops and pda / smartphone devices. So you can transmit farther and receiver from farther away.

But … that brings into play the possibility, for a given location, to bring in more interference - or even to be part of the interference equation YOURSELF. That doesn’t mean you are doing anything wrong, and all interference is not microwave ovens or other 2.4Ghz devices outside of WiFi. Interference can be other WiFi Devices themselves. Including your own signal.

Have a look at my long standing article:

http://www.wifiyacht.net/wifi-adjacent-myth.html

And perhaps get that INSSIDER program and have a look with a laptop. See what signals are around you. Go topside or on the dock … and let that baby run. See what kind of signals are around and on what channels and how strong they are in your vicinity.

That may help you understand why you might not be able to connect in some locations. You might have to switch SSID’s (or Hotspots) that you are connecting to - and try again.

Marine - Yachts - Make sure you have a look at:

http://blog.marinetelecom.net/?s=Lightspeed

If you’re looking for a WiFi System to share those WiFi Hotspot Systems that you see in many marinas, yards, and anchorages … we’ve got an App for that. We’ve got a nice Router Box Appliance for that. Make sure you have a look at the above link and also http://www.wifiyacht.net or give me a call.

Alan Spicer Marine Telecom with Bryan Fugett of International Marine Electronics - Presents the Lightspeed - Marine WiFi Bridge/Router System. It can be “jacked in” to your existing onboard network and used as a cost-saving alternative or option among your other Marine Internet Systems onboard. It’s very good at logging onto most Public WiFi Internet Systems (and even private ones with a WEP or WPA code) and routing and sharing that Internet Connectivity onboard to your entire vessel. An existing network can be used, or a new network can be made to support both wired and wireless computers.

That’s what we do

Thanks for looking! Happy Holidays!

Are you currently getting WiFi Hotspot Internet on your yacht by connecting with a PC Computer and sharing that onto your boat for laptops and such with Windows Internet Connection Sharing?

If you already have an external WiFi Antenna installed you can replace using that unreliable Internet Connection Sharing to share a WiFi signal - with our Marine Wireless Bridge / WiFi Hotspot Sharing Router System - and for only $500.00. And you can probably install it yourself????!!!!

Chances are you have an LMR-400 coax cable run … it is using N-Connectors and is then adapted to a little radio pigtail that goes into a WiFi Card in your Desktop PC.

Get this system for $500.00 (and any shipping depending on how fast you want it?) and put it in place of the PC. Now I didn’t say throw away the PC computer… Instead you will jack in the New System to your onboard network - let it manage the network. Now you can shut down that PC when it’s not needed instead of leaving it on around-the-clock. The New System will now do what the PC was doing, but more reliable. Windows Internet Connection Sharing tends to be flakey! It stops working and confuses the heck out of you!

This Marine WiFi Bridge / WiFi Hotspot Sharing System has a nice Web Page-based Control Center where you can find and connect to WiFi Hotspot Systems. Once you are connected this connection is shared throughout the boat. You don’t have to leave another computer on at all. It handles the onboard network (even when it’s not being used to connect to an outside WiFi Signal.) It does this using common NAT and DHCP protocols - NAT hides your onboard network by translating the Outside Internet Address to Inside Internet Addresses (typically 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) - DHCP assigns each computer one of those “inside” addresses and also Network Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings. Without this kind of automated help … your onboard network can quickly become on non-working mess.

Here’s the system:

Get some of those hard-to-reach hotspots wether you’re at anchor or just too far away for some reason. Bring out the Big Gun.

Give those hotspots, and your hotspot router (hopefully one of our MWB’s) what they want! More signal on target to the hotspot - and more receive signal to your hotspot router. (* Of course you *know* you’ll have to aim this thing.) We normally do Omni-Directional antennas on yachts. This is precisely so that you don’t have to aim the antenna. But *sometimes* you end up with your boat in a spot too far from civilization. You just cannot reach the hotspots because they are out of range. Some of you may know from old CB Radio days or from Ham/Amateur Radio - that using directional antennas is often beneficial. Often it’s the only way to get a signal through (receive and send.) Obviously gain antennas do so by taking away from somewhere else. In an Omni antenna you pull in the vertical-beamwidth and instead of wasting signal up and down you concentrate more on where the target is. The same thing goes with Yagi antennas but taking a step further and also pulling in the horizontal-beamwidth. So now you concentrate not only on vertically where the target it - but horizontal as well. Instead of listening all around 360 degrees you listen only 30 degrees. On transmitting instead of wasting power 360 degrees around - you concentrate your power on a much narrower area. This isn’t for everybody - because you will have work a bit to aim the antenna. But if you are more than a couple miles off shore at anchor - or you are somewhere where the needed wifi signal is just too weak. This can help. I only recommend this as a backup antenna. Not as your main WiFi antenna. Hook it up and use it when you need it.

 2.4 GHz 15 dBi Yagi Antenna - 12in N-Female Connector

Rugged and Weatherproof

12in low-loss coax lead terminated with a N-Female connector
30° beam-width & DC Short lightning protection
Light weight, UV-stable & UL flame rated radome
Includes tilt and swivel mast mount
Can be installed for either vertical or horizontal polarization

antenna is supplied with a 60 degree tilt and swivel mast mount kit

* You find the place to put it. It needs a mast (pole) to mount it on. Details available on request.

* Note: If you already have our MWB WiFi Hotspot Sharing Router System (if you don’t you’re at the right place to get one anyway…) then it has an “Align Antenna” feature that will give a Real Time colorful signal strength indication - which would be excellent for aiming one of these Big Gun antennas. If you have wireless onboard that covers topside you could carry a laptop up with you to aim the thing.
