It converts NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 on the fly, logs every voyage to a micro SD card, and runs the Actisense-i diagnostics suite, all sealed in a rugged IP67 case with a 5-year guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Actisense W2K-2 is the little box that finally cuts the cord between your NMEA 2000 network and the screen in your hand. Wire it into your backbone, join its Wi-Fi from a phone, tablet, or laptop, and the data flowing across the boat, position, speed, heading, depth, wind, engine numbers, AIS targets, shows up in the navigation app of your choice. No plotter cable snaking across the cabin. No dedicated display eating helm space. Just the data, on the device you already carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the W2K-2 apart from a plain Wi-Fi bridge is the conversion engine inside it. It reads native NMEA 2000 messages and translates them into NMEA 0183 sentences on the fly, so older software and apps that only speak 0183 still see a full, clean data feed. That's a big deal on a mixed-generation boat where the electronics were added a few seasons apart. You get one gateway feeding position, speed over ground, course, wind, depth, and AIS to whatever app runs your navigation, instead of chasing adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a data logger built right in. Drop a micro SD card into the slot, up to 128GB, and the W2K-2 quietly records the data crossing your network, all of it or a subset you pick. Weeks of onboard data on a single card. Racers pull it to pick apart a leg after the fact. Cruisers use it as a running logbook. And when something on the network acts up, that recorded stream is the first place a tech looks to figure out what happened and when. Pop the card, drop it in a laptop, and the whole voyage is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery W2K-2 ships with Actisense-i, the same diagnostic suite the crew here leans on during installs. It checks bus voltage, flags voltage problems, and reports the working status of every device hanging off the network, so you can see at a glance whether the backbone is healthy or whether one branch is dragging things down. The gateway also measures and reports NMEA 2000 bus voltage automatically. For anyone who has spent an afternoon hunting a flaky connection, that kind of visibility saves real time and real money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActisense stepped the security up on this generation. The W2K-2 uses WPA3 password protection, a layer ahead of the WPA2 most wireless gateways still run, and every unit leaves the factory with its own unique SSID and password so you're not sharing a default with the boat in the next slip. It works as an access point and a client at the same time, streams over both TCP and UDP through up to three separate data servers, and supports 802.11 b\/g\/n at up to 150Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. Range in open space is around 30 meters, plenty for a mid-size boat, though steel and aluminum hulls will cut that down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild quality is where Actisense earns its name. The W2K-2 lives in a rugged IP67 case that shrugs off spray and washdowns, with a polycarbonate body, PBT endcaps, and an M12 male connector molded straight into the housing on nickel-plated brass pins. The antenna is internal, so there's no whip to snap off in a locker. It draws just 2 LEN, about 100mA, so it barely taxes the bus, and it's protected against reverse polarity and transient spikes to 40V. Four diagnostic LEDs, power, N2K transmit, N2K receive, and status, tell you what's happening without opening a laptop. Install is genuinely quick. Tee it into the backbone, add a card if you want logging, and you're running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo who's this for? Anyone who wants their boat's data on a phone or tablet without adding another fixed screen. It's a natural fit for sailboats in the 30 to 45 foot range and for any cruiser or racer who wants wireless instruments, wireless AIS, and a voyage log in one small, sealed box. Remote firmware upgrades keep it current, the user manual lives on the device itself and opens in any browser, and it's backed by a 5-year guarantee. Reliability built in, as Actisense likes to put it, and on the water that's exactly what you want from the box quietly feeding every number you rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 conversion streams a full data feed to apps that only speak 0183\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWi-Fi streaming to phone, tablet, or laptop, so no plotter cable or dedicated display is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree separate data servers over TCP and UDP feed several apps and devices at once\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in data logger records to a micro SD card up to 128GB for weeks of voyage data\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWPA3 password protection with a unique default SSID and password on every unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eActisense-i diagnostic suite checks bus voltage and reports the status of every device on the network\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic NMEA 2000 bus voltage measurement and reporting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e802.11 b\/g\/n Wi-Fi up to 150Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, roughly 30 meters range in open space\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks as an access point and a client at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow 2 LEN draw, about 100mA, with reverse-polarity and 40V transient protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRugged IP67 case with an M12 male connector molded on nickel-plated brass pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour diagnostic LEDs for power, NMEA 2000 transmit, NMEA 2000 receive, and status\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote firmware upgradability and an on-device user manual accessible via browser\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a 5-year Actisense guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Actisense reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDoes the W2K-2 include an SD card for data logging?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. The logger is built in, but the micro SD card isn't supplied.
