In-Marina Wireless Extender
Beacon’s In-Marina Wireless Extender is as unique as it gets. Designed for use at a participating Beacon Wi-Fi location while your boat is at the marina, it is managed and supported by the Beacon Wi-Fi support staff. It offers boating customers a Dual Radio solution that provides a direct bridge link to the Beacon Wi-Fi Network using blazing 5 Ghz technology and a wireless broadcast to your devices using 802.11AC (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) with enough signal for in-cabin coverage.

*Long range boat systems use an entirely different technology and process and are designed for use OUTSIDE of a marina. They connect to the host wireless network as a high-powered client device and rebroadcast as an access point. This technology and process works great as a boat network for in-cabin coverage if you are far from the wireless network. However, while your boat is docked at a marina it contributes to the growing wireless noise issue that plagues so many marinas. Combined with many other boaters at a marina with a high-powered boat system for long range connection – the slow down overall communication.
