High Resolution Image

The SeaSmart.net^TMGPRS Gateway translates NMEA 2000 bus data for transmission over most cellular networks. Can be used  with any tablet/iPad/iPhone/ SmartPhone or attached wirelessly to an on-board router (infrastructure). Also compatible with new MiFi cell based devices and personal HotSpots for remote internet access within coverage areas.

A Built-in Server hosts Web pages that convert NMEA 2000 data directly into virtual instruments for real-time display of hundreds of parameters. The netGauges.net pages are completely customizable using the browser interface to match any installation from engine data, fluid tanks, battery status, weather, navigation, and more.

New Generation-2 features allow the adapter to send data directly to HelmSmart.net^TM servers over an existing internet connection while also storing to internal SD memory in case live connections are not available. SD memory files can be later accessed via any browser device and uploaded to cloud based servers for storage and analysis

Plug and Play Wireless NMEA 2000™ and NMEA 0183™ compatible interface module consists of a USB/Serial gateway, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi transmitter and built in CGI/AJAX web server.  Compatible with most browser enabled devices such Smart Phones, iPhone, iPad, and Android, SeaSmart.Net™ allows users to view NMEA 2000™ and 0183 serial data via integrated web pages eliminating add-on license fees. Open Sourced HTML Protocol allows simple customization to fit any application from weather station, dual engines, battery banks, fluid tanks and more. Now view all gauges, switch positions and GPS information from any browser enabled device.

SeaSmart G3 includes integrated dual pulse sensor inputs for compatible Fuel Flow sensors to measure consumption for diesel or gasoline injected engines. When used with matching pair of sensors, consumption to 250 g/hr with a resolution of 0.35 g/hr is achieved and transmitted via the NMEA 2000 Engine Trip PGN.

 

 

SeaSmart.net will allow internet based applications to directly access NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 data over TCP/UDP connections. Now view vessel information from anywhere. Also supports AIS information via on-board receivers.

SeaSmart.Net™ innovative interface technology includes an embedded Wi-Fi module to directly support both infrastructure and Ad Hoc networks without additional equipment. SeaSmart.net firmware translate native NMEA 2000 protocol to compatible HTML pages which are automatically updated Live and feed to the embedded web server. CGI and AJAX protocols allow JavaScript Web Browsers to view the dynamic graphics with minimum network loading so that performance is maintained over Dial-Up and Cell based networks. The Open Protocol allows for license free viewing of vessel data equal to other helm station displays and is easily shared among other devices. This data can be logged and viewed on vessel based systems or pushed to internet based remote servers for access anywhere in the world.

 

Chetco Digital SeaSmart.Net™ technology makes wireless gauge viewing, data access and data storage as easy as using a smart phone and browser. SeaSmartWiFi is bundled with sample Web Pages for instant setup. Custom development tools are also included.
