Buzz Connect, the UK Company that brought affordable broadband to boats and superyachts, has launched its new HubbaX4 duo, a marine broadband system.
The new system uses 3G and 4G mobile connectivity to provide considerably faster speeds than previously possible, achieving download speeds of up to 100Mbps.
Usable for on-board communication devices such as laptop, tablet or smartphone, the system has been developed with a dual SIM facility which allows the user to connect to another provider at the click of a switch when cruising through different regions and countries.
This assists to minimise costs and maximise connectivity by using regional service providers throughout the world.
The compact, IP67 waterproof dome houses a hi-gain multi directional antenna optimised for hi-speed throughput at long range. The system is suitable for providing hi-speed broadband while the vessel is in dock or coastal cruising at sea.
A robust connection can be achieved even up to 15 miles offshore, allowing a considerable reduction in communication costs by limiting the need for VSAT usage.
Below decks the “N” type Wi-Fi hub has a remote antenna to create a broadband hot spot in the vessel. Multi-channel connectivity gives higher speeds on both 3G and 4G LTE networks for both voice and data usage.
With 12v, 24v or 240v options the new HubbaX4 duo is compatible to all vessel power systems.
With its dual SIM system the HubbaX4 duo is designed to keep vessels connected at manageable costs when operating in coastal areas, reducing the need for expensive VSAT connection, while providing high speed broadband and Wi-Fi.
The HubbaX4 duo is priced at £1795.00 plus VAT.
