CTRX GRAPHENE Manual

 

APPENDIX C 

WIFI OPTION 

The CTRX Graphene transponder  can be fitted with WiFi connectivity as an option. 
The WiFi unit is built-in and has an integral antenna. 

The WiFi option provides a possibility to connect and share AIS data with a wireless 
device such as a tablet or a laptop computer. The WiFi is set up as an access point 
which provides connectivity using the choice of TCP or UDP protocol.  

The WiFi antenna is installed on the inside of the bottom part of the enclosure (see 
arrow).  When installing the CTRX Graphene WiFi, please make sure that this area is 
kept away from any metallic parts such as bulkhead etc. which can attenuate the 
signal from the WiFi unit.
