Data

NMEA0183, Seatalk1

En-power your sailing apps with data from wind instrument and other devices on a boat.

Internet

Stay connected

Your mobile receives data via Bluetooth, 3G/4G stays open for internet connection.

Battery

Reduce power consumption

Bluetooth 4 consumes significantly less mobile's battery comparing to WiFi solutions.

Data and Internet on a Mobile device

DataLinker shares vessel's sensor data using Bluetooth Smart technology. This makes data available to mobile devices while keeping the 3G/4G internet channels open. Avoid the frustration of having to disconnect from your instruments (WiFi systems), while also adding the flexibility to share your vessels data to a cloud based system.

Additionally, compared to Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Smart (or BT version 4.0), which is also called Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), provides considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication range.
