Shipcontroller NET is an extension of the Shipcontroller system that allows multiple radio transceivers to be deployed on the boat’s deck, forming a communication mesh network that offers advantages such as:
- Increasing the robustness and range of the radio system, especially on large vessels or when the deck is metal and may block radio signals.
- Providing redundancy and high availability of the radio system for critical applications.
The radio transceivers are interconnected through the Shipcontroller CANbus, which can reach lengths of 250 meters or even more using bus extensions.
The radio transceivers are powered directly from the bus, making installation very simple.
The NET system supports the use of multiple remote controls (even of different models) with concurrency control, ensuring that only one can have control at any given time.
