Marine Internet Modem (MIM200) Instructions 

Version 1 - 2020 

 

1. Introduction 

 

The Marine Internet Modem kit from PicoSense has been designed to provide you the best 
cellular internet connection possible onboard your vessel, wherever you may go.   

The kit contents have been assembled specifically to operate in the harsh marine 
environment.  The modem includes the ability for you to install up to two SIM cards to allow 
you to connect to the best network available based on your location.  The modem operates 
as a Wi-Fi hotspot on your boat, allowing multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices (iPad, tablets, 
iPhones, Smart TV, etc) to connect to the internet.  The modem also provides a single wired 
ethernet connection which allows expansion and legacy devices to connect which may not 
include Wi-Fi functionality.  The modem is designed to be powered from either 12 or 24VDC.
