How about 5G? 5G is designed for short-range, high-speed communications in urban areas and isn't ideal for maritime use. However, 5G will improve 4G infrastructure through backhaul. 4GXtream supports additional internet sources through its WAN port.
Can I view my NMEA 2000 navigation data remotely? Yes, via VPN or MQTT. The internal NMEA 2000 interface streams GPS, AIS, and instrument data across the WiFi network to connected apps. It also supports text message polling of GPS data and alerts through its internal GPS function.
Where should the external antennas be mounted? Mount them at least 2ft apart for optimal performance. Standard cables (LMR200) are 23ft in length. Consider cable runs when choosing a location. Optional 33ft and 66ft assemblies are available for longer runs.
Can I use the internal WiFi network to connect to shore-side WiFi? While possible, it's not recommended. For long-range WiFi access, use the WL510 connected to the WAN port for reliable performance.
