NGW-1 Bi-directional NMEA 2000® Conversion Gateway
Hook up to NMEA 2000 whilst keeping currently installed NMEA 0183 devices.
The NMEA 2000 Gateway provides an uncomplicated way to link between a boat’s data networks and converts NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa.
Multiple NGW-1 units can be used to multiplex numerous NMEA 0183 devices onto the NMEA 2000 network, using the network as a means of combining and transferring all data from one place to another.
Fully NMEA 2000 Certified
Bridge an NMEA 2000 network with your old 0183 electronics using the NGW-1.
The NGW-1 has the largest range of conversions available on the market. To see a full up to date list of the conversions the various configurations can handle, please click here.
The Actisense NMEA Reader software utility allows the NGW-1 user to view and understand (in detail) the translated NMEA 0183 sentences output by an NGW-1 directly.
Ordering information
(Part number/s)
The NGW-1 is available to purchase in a variety of options:
NGW-1-ISO is the standard option. With an opto-isolated input and ISO-Drive output for direct NMEA 0183 device bi-directional connection.
NGW-1-ISO-AIS is the NMEA 0183 AIS option that enables the conversion of NMEA 0183 AIS data to its equivalent in NMEA 2000. This provides an ‘out of the box’ solution for quick installation with no configuration required.
NGW-1-USB is the NMEA 0183 USB (1.1 and 2.0) interface for bi-directional connection to a PC for use with NMEA 0183 software.
