2022 promises to be a generous year for new hardware. New fixtures and updated versions - throughout the year we will see a lot of interesting equipment. In the meantime, Interparus reviews the latest innovations in the world of yachting Airmar Do you want to combine all control, communication and communication devices into one ecosystem? Then take a look at the system SmartBoat System from Airmar.
The heart of the system is the SmartBoat modules. All devices are connected to them and they are a kind of “hub”. All received data is converted to the NMEA 2000 protocol. This information is then transmitted wirelessly to other SmartBoat modules via Wi-Fi.
This hybrid wired/wireless architecture will eliminate miles of wires. Among other things, this will help to optimize the process of managing the systems of the yacht. So you can track all the processes on the entire boat - from the tank to the transom!
