Using MIMO technology and two external wide band LTE antennas, it offers fast connectivity at up to 300 MBs (network dependent). It has a built in dual band Wi-Fi router supporting multiple connections, dual SIM slots (with auto fail over if required), built in GPS (for IOT and tracking applications) as well as an NMEA 2000 interface for navigation and instrument data connectivity and wireless interfacing. There’s also a Bluetooth interface for future connectivity applications.

It will sit alongside our existing 4G Connect Pro as a premium product and is ideal for use on large yacht, workboats, tugs and commercial ships where reliable, low cost coastal internet and in port connectivity is required.

Note:

4G Connect Pro and 4G Xtream will continue as current products. For existing 4G Connect Pro users who want the additional features of the 4G Xtream, a “trade in-trade up” package is available. The existing 4G Connect Pro antennas and cabling can be utilized and the upgrade pack ships with adaptors to allow the existing cabling to connect to the 4G Xtream. Principle advantages of the 4G Xtream are:

• Dual SIM connectivity
• Faster Cat 6 modem and Wi-Fi router –Note often the network operator will be the limiting factor in internet download speeds not the 4G Connect or 4G Xtream
• Dual band 2.4/5GHz independent Wi-Fi networks
• NMEA 2000 interface for navigation data
• Integrated GPS for future tracking/IOT applications
• Multi 3 port LAN switch/hub built in

The 4G Connect Modem unit requires returning to the factory and the upgrade cost is $880
