Problem

Chartplotters were connected to the rest of the equipment only via Wi-Fi, which limited the connection possibilities to a single device. To ensure synchronization of all Simrad devices installed on a boat, a new communication technology had to be adopted.

Solution

The above problem was solved by the introduction of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity in chartplotters, which allowed many devices to communicate at the same time.
