NGX-1 NMEA 2000® Dual Gateway

Intelligent Gateway technology enables PC interfacing and NMEA data conversion…

The NGX-1 is an intelligent multi-function gateway, combining the power of our two previous generation products (NGT-1 and    NGW-1) into one, cost effective, flexible product.

Configure the NGX-1 to operate as an NMEA 2000 <–> PC interface, or as a bi-directional NMEA 0183 <–> NMEA 2000 conversion gateway.
