Port Networks is proud to announce the release of Version 6 of its popular MWB-250 marine wireless bridge. The new design incorporates a new, more powerful transmitter with improved receive sensitivity, a completely rewritten software interface, and an upgraded case and set of cable components.

Getting online with one of our custom Marine Wireless Bridge systems is as easy as plugging a standard network cable into the Ethernet port on your computer. Your computer doesn't have to have its own Wi-Fi adapter, or any other special hardware. The Marine Wireless Bridge system does all the work, delivering the Internet to the computer just as if the computer were plugged into the wall at an office.

Our custom Marine Wireless Bridge systems have several advantages over built-in Wi-Fi, USB adapters, and similar systems:

• 32x More Transmit Power. Because the MWB-250 incorporates a powerful 400mW transmitter and an above-deck antenna, its has far more range than most other Wi-Fi solutions.
  
  
• Flexible Mounting. The MWB-250 radio unit can be mounted below with other electronics, attached by a low-loss antenna cable to its permanently mounted fiberglass antenna. Thanks to its built-in Power-Over-Ethernet technology, a single network cable is the only connection required at the radio location.
  
  
• Advanced Networking Features. Unlike most Wi-Fi adapters, our Marine Wireless Bridges are stand-alone devices on the network, so each includes its own internal DHCP server and a Site Survey utility for detecting available wireless networks. They also support advanced encryption, including WEP64, WEP128, 802.1x, WPA-TKIP, WPA2-AES & WPA-Mixed.
  
  
• High-Speed Data Transfer. Our Marine Wireless Bridge systems are compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g access points, so they will work almost anywhere Wi-Fi is available, and will deliver throughput of up to 54 megabits per second.
