The Actisense NGT-1 is a purpose-built gateway device designed to facilitate straightforward interfacing between a personal computer (PC) and the widely-adopted NMEA 2000 marine electronic standard. Leveraging its opto-isolated input and ISO-Drive output, the NGT-1 establishes a bidirectional data conduit directly to a PC. This setup not only democratizes access to important navigation and instrument data but does so while operating as an effective firewall gateway.
As the standout, intelligent node for linking your maritime systems to computational resources, the Actisense NGT-1 executes the precise relay of messages both to and from the NMEA 2000 bus network. This is pivotal for boating enthusiasts and professionals who rely on NMEA Reader diagnostic software for real-time message viewing and network management. Importantly, the device's inherent firewall capability is instrumental in securing the integrity of the NMEA 2000 bus, enabling software developers to design fully compatible applications economically without shouldering the cost of direct bus certification.
The versatility of the NGT-1 extends beyond its core functionality; users ranging from yacht owners to marine engineers can engage in seamless transmission of pure NMEA 2000 data, conduct maintenance with the assurance that configuring and updating Actisense's suite of products on the network is effortless. In the role of troubleshooting aide, coupled with NMEA Reader, the NGT-1 is a linchpin in diagnosing and rectifying network anomalies. Furthermore, this instrumental device acts as a diligent guardian, fortifying the bond between a PC and the NMEA 2000 bus against unwanted data breaches. For dedicated users seeking a robust, efficient, and secure marine network interface, the NGT-1 presents itself as the fitting solution.
Actisense earnestly extends an invitation to software manufacturers aiming to harness NMEA 2000's capabilities and integrate the NGT-1 into their offerings to reach out for collaboration.
