 You Can't Connect To What You Can't Hear
Use our 15 dbi High Gain Antenna to hear the weak signals
Providing
Wi-Fi systems for
boats since 2003!
"Hi Dalton, We're back
onboard and the bullet has fired. We are connected! In fact we are connected to the Bay Garden Inn which is just south of
the channel into the marina and we are out by Jam de bois at Pigeon Island Park. So it must be well over a mile away. So we
are good, thanks for your help. Time for me to go for a swim. Chuck"
"The
WiFi system has been working great since it was installed - we are very happy with it! In fact, we a so happy
with it that we are thniking about taking it off of Kiva and installing it to the new boat we are building in Europe."
Thanks, Jan Buskop, S/V Kiva
"I got the Full Monty! Very powerful, works great!" Clyde Murphey
"Hi
Dalton, Wanted
to let you know that your system faired well during Earl. We had 125mph winds with higher gusts and tornados. It was good
to have the internet." Bob Hogan
"It works beautifully!" "Much better than I anticipated!" Bill Campbell,
S/V Alcheringa II
"Dalton, Just a quick note to let you know that I LOVE my wififorboats antenna!
I mounted it on our arch, which is about 15 feet off the water and we were able to immediately access numerous wifi
connections that we couldn’t see before. We vacationed in Key West and up the West coast of Florida this spring
and there was rarely an anchorage when we couldn’t get connected. Thanks for a great product!" Clark Haley
"The
large external Wi-Fi for Boats antenna connects to the land based hot spont with your small internal antenna creating an
Onboard Hot Spot on our boat. This internal antenna had three iPhones, and iPad and a lap top all using wi-fi at the
same time with no problem." Scott Lenoard
"Love it!!!
Works great! I'm using the Wi-Fi for Boats antenna now and get access from many stations. Thank you
so much." Dianne Davis
"We've
used our antenna in all anchorages from St. Lucia to Trinidad that have a wifi signal with much success. The system allows
Roberta to stay in touch more often with friends and family via Skype". Tito on SV ALLELUIA!"Thank you for suggesting sending the system through St. Thomas. It saved
time and money. As I mentioned in a previous mail, my boat is in the yard for a few months and I will use the system in a
house over looking Biras Creek resort. It took about ten minutes to get the system up and running." Bob Hogan, SV Eroica. The first system you sent me is working
great! I just ordered a second 'complete 15db wifi system with router to use at my land base.. Thanks, Nick
Babich, s/v Calypso

1 ... Wi-Fi for Boats directly connects our Bullet 2Hp Wi-Fi Radio
to a very high gain 15 dbi Wi-Fi Antenna.
Why use such a high
gain antenna? Because you can not connect to what you can not hear. Our antenna is four times (4X) more sensitive
than the commonly used 8 or 9 dbi antennas on all other products.
There is much false urban ledgend concerning whether or not such high gain antennas work on boats. The suggestion
is that as a boat rocks at anchor that the beam width is insufficient to maintain a steady connection. In five years
I, nor any of my customers, have seen this happen. The 15 dbi gain
antenna we use has a 6 degree beam width at its maximum 15 db gain point and a 20 degree beam width at its 12 dbi
gain point. (See the Specifications page to review the antenna plot.)
# 2... We use TCP/IP over standard Cat5e network cable.
The connection from
our antenna to your computer is a standard TCP/IP network connection using inexpensive Cat5e network cable, not performance
and distance limited Coax or USB. The Cat5e network connection allows you complete freedom to mount the
antenna in the best possible location on your boat with absolutely zero cable loss and the small Cat5e network cable
run to where ever you use your computer. The maximum cable length can be up to 100 Meters (300 Feet).
# 3... The myth that a strong transmitter
will always connect further.
Wi-Fi is a two way conversation. Just because you can shout loud
does not mean you can hear a person whispering to you. Wi-Fi for Boats uses very high gain 15 db omni directional antennas
which directly connects to our sensitive receivers in order to hear weak signals. This gives you the ability to select
stations that you would not otherwise receive and make reliable connections at much greater distances.
# 4... Being a good neighbor.
Using our high gain antennas, the powerful transmitter does not have to be turned up to full power to enable reliable long distance connections. When a powerful transmitter is running at full
power it introduces interference to others and distortion in its own signal as well. With our high gain antennas we
are able to set the transmission power much less than maximum power and still connect at great distances. This
gives you a cleaner and clearer signal providing you with faster, more reliable connections while at the same time not overpowering
your neighbors equipment allowing all to share the Internet.
# 5... It's
about good design.
Long distance Wi-Fi is about good equipment and good design, especially when connecting to low power signals
such as may be provided by a local bar, restaurant or home system. Balancing our transmit power and sensitive
receiver with our directly connected 15db gain Omni antenna gives you greater connection distances.
And that is what makes Wi-Fi for Boats
better!
 The picture to the left is is a close up of our system. The 15 dbi Antenna above and the Wireless Radio directly attached
below eliminates all RF Cable losses providing the greatest range possible. Note: The antenna mounting shown is not included. I take great pride in creating our products and providing equipment that will give
you unmatched performance regardless of the exaggerated claims I read on the Internet. With 30 years experience in technology and networks, I sell and support Wi-Fi systems for boats that I know work, and work well. If you
have multiple computers on your boat, I suggest our Onboard Hot Spot that will allow all your wireless devices
to use your Wi-Fi Internet connection. I look forward to helping you with your Wi-Fi system.
