February 20, 2015
Huanine, French Polynesia
Good news on the Internet-for-boaters front. Our trusted Wirie AP has been improved and now offers seamless 3 & 4-G Internet access. Since “Island Consulting” is on a mooring right behind us, I’ve asked Mark to provide us with his press release to give you the scoop.
As for us, we’ve upgraded to the WIriePro and the jump in customer satisfaction is significant. The screens have been streamlined, the number of passwords required reduced, and the performance enhanced. Here, in French Polynesia, where the WiFi service is iffy at best, it’s marvelous to be able to switch from WiFi to 3-G at the click of a button with lightning speed… see, I’m posting this in a jiffy while JP is taking a nap!
As for technical terms, I’m leaving you with Mark’s words….
Long Range Internet Access Revolutionized with The Wiriepro: Island Consulting, Inc. Launches The Wiriepro, a Marine Grade Internet System for Boats and RVs, Supporting Both WiFi and 3G/4G.
Newbury, Massachusetts, January 5th, 2015: Island Consulting, Inc. has introduced an affordable “all-in-one” internet product with The Wiriepro. By redesigning its product line from the ground up and using the latest technology available, the company has added worldwide 3G and 4G data support to its popular long range WiFi systems. Having the ability to switch seamlessly between a remote WiFi connection and a 3G or 4G data connection provides a level of flexibility and convenience never before available to smaller yachts and RVs.
The Wirieprobuilds on the success of Island Consulting’s first and second generation Wirie products. It includes a wireless access point (router), the best long range WiFi adapter available, and a worldwide commercial grade 3G/4G router. The Wiriepro continues the tradition of being a fully waterproof, self-contained unit, powered by a 12-24V DC electrical cable, which eliminates the need for Ethernet and USB cables. No software is needed to run The Wiriepro. Completely redesigned, a single user interface manages the onboard local network, long-range remote WiFi connections, and 3G/4G data connections.
The Wiriepro allows all WiFi enabled devices, like laptops, smart phones, tablets, chart plotters, and printers to connect to the local WiFi network and in turn share the long range internet connection from either a remote WiFi network, or a 3G/4G data connection. Mark Kilty from Island Consulting, Inc. reports “3G and 4G data services are becoming more prevalent in the cruising community as their popularity and accessibility has spread throughout the world. They typically provide a level of reliability and speed not always found with WiFi connections. With The Wiriepro, users can easily choose either option based on their location and availability. This offers them the ultimate flexibility to get online, without the complications of similar systems currently on the market, and at a very competitive price.”
