In addition to utilizing Ethernet technology for a more robust and faster data exchange platform than the widely adopted NMEA 2000, OneNet’s advantages include easier integration of marine electronics with onboard and internet-based systems via IP networking, enhanced security with encrypted features, and improved interoperability and compatibility among different manufacturers’ marine electronics.
“Airmar’s SmartBoat Solution is a leading example of innovative technology that is designed to simplify the management of onboard systems, improve navigation and safety, and enhance the overall boating experience,” stated Mark Reedenauer, NMEA President & Executive Director.
“As the industry adapts to the new OneNet standard, the benefits of more integrated, efficient, and advanced marine systems will become increasingly apparent,” continued Reedenauer.
“Airmar is a longtime supporter of the NMEA standards. Having the first product to achieve OneNet certification demonstrates our commitment to advancing the capabilities of marine electronics,” added Jennifer Matsis, Vice President, Sales & Marketing at Airmar.
