Digital Yacht WLN30 Smart Wireless NMEA Multiplexer for Marine Navigation

WLN30 Smart Wireless NMEA Multiplexer

The WLN30 is a smart NMEA to WiFi Multiplexer designed to connect your smart phone and other wireless devices to your boats navigation systems. It features three NMEA0183 inputs and easy web interface configuration.

Digital Yachts WLN30 Smart Wireless NMEA Mutiplexer takes iPad and tablet integration afloat even further with the ability to connect to existing on board GPS, AIS and instrument systems and transfer data wirelessly to an iPad or tablet allowing compatible apps to display and compute with real time information. The WLN30 creates a secure, password protected wifi network on board to footprint the boat with data.

When connected to, for example, anAIS system, real time AIS target positions and identity data will be displayed on detailed electronic charting through compatible apps including Weather4D, TimeZero,iAIS, iSailor, SailGrib, Seapilot and hundreds more. The tablet becomes a full function navigation display.

The WLN30 has three NMEA0183 Inputs and one NMEA0183 Output, which can be programmed through its simple browser interface to operate at 4800 or 38400 baud rates. Data received on the three inputs is multiplexed together and transmitted to any wireless devices connected to the WLN30s wireless network. The same multiplexed data is also available on the NMEA 0183 Output or in an alternative mode the NMEA 0183 Output can be configured to forward data from the wireless application, such as next waypoint or autopilot data, to other NMEA 0183 equipment.

All configuration of the WLN30 can be done through its own simple web interface, just open your web browser, enter the WLN30s IP address and you can set baud rates, multiplexing mode, network name, password and select AP mode. No complicated programming software or app required and you can even view the received NMEA data in the web browser, for easy fault finding of issues.

The WLN30 supports TCP and UDP network protocols for maximum compatibility with apps. If you want to have full bi-directional control of an autopilot, with guaranteed data integrity or you want to be the only person receiving the data, then select TCP. If however, you want to receive the same data on multiple devices, for instance a PC at the chart table and an iPad on deck, then select the UDP broadcast protocol.

With its three NMEA0183 inputs, you can also utilise our SeaTalk to NMEA adaptor to allow SeaTalk instrument data to be interfaced directly to the WLN30 or our iKonvert gateway to connect NMEA 2000 data. Now works with the popular Navionics Boating App for Apple iOS and Android to display GPS and AIS data on your Navionics charts.

The Digital Yacht WLN30 is a versatile and easy-to-use wireless NMEA multiplexer designed to enhance marine navigation systems. With three NMEA 0183 inputs and one output, it allows seamless data transfer between your boat's instruments and wireless devices such as iPads, tablets, and smartphones. The device supports baud rates of 4800 and 38400, and its flexible web interface makes setup and configuration straightforward without the need for specialized software. You can customize network settings, baud rates, multiplexing modes, and security features like SSID and password directly through your web browser, simplifying installation and ongoing management.

This multiplexer creates a secure, password-protected WiFi network onboard, enabling real-time data sharing from AIS, GPS, autopilot, and other NMEA 0183 systems. When connected to an AIS system, it provides live target positions and identity data on compatible electronic charts like Weather4D, TimeZero, iSailor, SailGrib, and Seapilot, turning your tablet into a full-function navigation display. The device supports both TCP and UDP protocols, offering flexibility for single or multiple device data sharing, and it can be configured to forward specific data, such as autopilot commands or waypoint updates, to other NMEA 0183 equipment.

Installation is simple with the IPX4-rated black box design, making it suitable for marine environments. The WLN30 also supports SeaTalk to NMEA adapters and NMEA 2000 gateways, expanding compatibility with various onboard systems. Its web-based data viewing feature aids in troubleshooting and diagnostics, ensuring reliable performance. Compatible with popular navigation apps and software, including Navionics, the WLN30 is an essential tool for integrating wireless data transfer into modern marine navigation setups. Its robust features and user-friendly interface make it an ideal choice for boat owners seeking advanced connectivity and data management capabilities.
