data for Communication over Internet Protocol (IP)

Sort of – What is Needed is an Open Industry Standard, Maretron Introduced a Proprietary Method Since an Industry Standard Didn’t Exist

• Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100) Encapsulates NMEA 2000 Messages within

Internet Protocol for transmission over Ethernet

Bi-Directional – NMEA 2000 to IP and IP to NMEA 2000

Maretron Cloud Services • Problem – Remote Client (Shore) Attempting to Address Data Server (Ship) Ashore Client needs to Request Information from Ship by Addressing

Server (IP Address)

Ship’s IP Address Changes Depending on Location (IP Address isn’t Fixed)

• Solution – Maretron Cloud Services Ship Automatically Logs Into Fixed IP Address Maretron Cloud Server

Ashore Clients Log Into Fixed IP Address Maretron Cloud Server

Server and Client are Connected together Through Maretron Cloud Services

THE FUTURE OF NAVIGATION APPLICATIONS

JEFF HUMMEL • Nobeltec in 1995-

2001 • Currently director of

sales and marketing at Rose Point

• Own and operate an 80 ft research vessel

MOST BOATERS ALREADY HAVE SOFTWARE

• There are over 250,000 user of PC based Navigation Software that they use at home and on the boat

• Nearly all cruisers use software combined with a chart plotter

• Boater previously purchased PC based software because of the charts

• Boaters purchase software because of they want better information

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?

• Can we predict the future in terms of what devices will exist and how boaters will interact with their vessels?

• In 1996 I was involved in a similar study… • Our predictions • I want to credit Martin KVH for helping with this

vision

VISION OF THE FUTURE 1997

• All boaters will own a hand held GPS • The device will include a camera • The device will include a phone • The device will use location based services • The device will be capable of displaying information

about the vessel to the boater wherever they have internet access

THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED! • iPhone and iPad

everything we predicted except the are not waterproof. (We did predict that it would not float.)

• We did not predict voice integration although we did consider it.

NAVIONICS IPHONE AND IPAD APPLICATION • Navionics created

the first successful iPad application

• It has been a change agent

THE FUTURE

• The future is a combination of two key elements • What Boaters Want • Available Technology

WHAT DO BOATERS WANT?

• Reliability – It must work immediately upon arriving at the boat

• Ease of use - Boater that use technology at this level typically operate their vessels on 2 week long trips, plus 12 weekend trips they must be able to remember how to use the systems each time they arrive

• Information – At their fingertips • Control – without complexity

INFORMATION • Boaters desire more and better data

– Charts – Cruising Guides – Weather – Sonar – Radar – AIS

• Vessel information – Tank levels – Fuel – Engine data – Battery

CONTROL - MOODS AND MODES

• Boaters want the boat to do what they want when they want it:

• Entertainment • Fishing • Docking • Anchoring • Maintenance

WHERE WILL WE BE IN 15 YEARS? • Displays • Networking • Better Sensors • Remote access and control • Dynamic positioning – pilot assist • Hardened systems – the last thing working on the

boat

DISPLAYS • Organic LED

Displays • Plastic • Flexible • 1,000,000:1 Contrast

ration • Transparent when off • Problem – Not

waterproof • Size Limits

NETWORKING

• Boat will always be connected to a network • There will be a network onboard • Connection to hand held devices like iPad and

iPhone • Internet • Monitoring • Cameras

ROSE POINT – NEMO BOX

• Includes Gateway • 4 NMEA 0183 • Ethernet • Wifi

BETTER SENSORS • In the past these items were limited to only the

largest vessels, in the future they will be commonplace – Night Vision – 3 D Sonar – Side Scan Sonar – Radar – Broadband

IMAGING SONAR

NAVICO BROAD BAND RADAR • High Resolution • Solid State • Instant On • Low Power

DYNAMIC POSITION – PILOT ASSIST

• Nearly all cruising vessels will have Dynamic position, or pilot assist

• Dynamic Position (DP) will provide joystick control of large vessels allowing for ease of docking and maneuvering

• Pilot assist power drives with become the norm

HARDENED SYSTEMS

• Due to increased use and dependence on processor based technology manufactures will use various types of technology to harden the systems against catastrophic failure

• Optical isolation, plastic fiber optics and RF isolation will be used

• Redundant Power – last system standing

CONCLUSION

• Just as in the past we were able to predict the future the same is true now

• Consumer electronics and marine electronics are evolving and integrating quickly

• Not only is this happening fast, but the rate of change is speeding up.

You can’t plan well for the technological future

Provide charging stations for mobile devices

Mounts for mobiles

Tallon Elite USB Socket

Provide ample cable runs everywhere

Design electronics panels for change

Consider standard installation of onboard routers…

…and/or high- -power WiFi clients.

…and/or marine cellular amps…
