Digital Yacht 4G Connect 3G/4G Router - ZDIG4GC

4G Connect is a 4G (LTE) internet access solution to get internet on your boat. It utilises the latest MIMO technology with dual antennas for fast, long range access and incorporates a full function WiFi router so multiple devices can connect wirelessly. There is also a wired LAN port and WAN port – for connection to high power WiFi devices or satellite modems.

The Standard model has built in antennas which will provide good performance when in port.

4G Connect has an easy to use interface and is unlocked so users are free to fit a data SIM card from any mobile provider they choose. However, during their testing, they have found that the lower frequencies used by the Vodafone network coupled with a competitive European data roaming allowance, offer the best maritime solution for European cruising yachtsman.

Operation is simple – turn on, connect to the password protected WiFi hotspot that 4G Connect creates and your device is online for internet on board. Digital Yacht's booster WiFi antenna can also be connected to the WAN port for a choice between hotspot WiFi and 4G connectivity. iKommunicate can also connect to the LAN port providing boat NMEA data on the WiFi network for use with navigation apps.
