Description
The RedPort Halo System
The Halo long-range Wi-Fi extender and local hub takes a weak Wi-Fi signal – at a marina, truck-stop, camp, etc – and boosts it, repeating it back directly to you.
The Halo system then takes the boosted Wi-Fi signal and routes it through the RedPort Optimizer local Wi-Fi hotspot. With the RedPort Optimizer you can share your Wi-Fi connection with all the Wi-Fi-capable devices near you – on your boat, truck, or building. Multiple users can connect to the Optimizer and share the Internet connection seamlessly and fast.
Everything You Need to Boost Your Outdoor Wi-Fi
The RedPort Halo system includes:
- Long-Range Wi-Fi Extender
- RedPort Optimizer Wi-Fi Hotspot
- 10m Ethernet Cable
- Optional Compression/Acceleration Apps
With the RedPort Halo long-range Wi-Fi extension system, you can get Wi-Fi from farther away and accelerate your connection by a factor of 3 to 5 times, and then share that Wi-Fi connection throughout your boat, truck, camp, etc.
Features and Specs
The RedPort Halo system combines the most powerful long-range Wi-Fi extender on the market with the popular RedPort Optimizer Wi-Fi Hotspot. Using these two together gives you a total package of Wi-Fi connectivity.
-
Long-Range Wi-Fi Extender
It’s a common problem: you’re at a marina, truckstop, or camp and while there is free (or cheap) Wi-Fi available, it doesn’t extend past the front door of the office. Setting up the RedPort Long-Range Wi-Fi Extender on your boat (or truck or RV, etc) means that you can capture that same Wi-Fi signal – even up to miles away.
-
Optimizer Local Hub
Once you’ve captured that long-range Wi-Fi, what do you do with it? Optimizer takes that Wi-Fi internet connection and rebroadcasts it around your location. That means you can connect to, say, a Marina Wi-Fi from the comfort of your own boat.
-
NMEA Compatible
RedPort Optimizer works as a NMEA repeater to broadcast your NMEA data (GPS location, AIS, weather data) to your navigational software on your smartphones, tablets, or computers.
-
GSM and Satellite Phone Compatible
RedPort Optimizer seamlessly works with all current satellite phones and terminals and select GSM-based USB modems.
-
Optimized Apps
The RedPort Halo system works with RedPort XGate and other leading data acceleration apps, including Network Innovations Speedmail; Satphone Store Satphone.me; SatLink Mail and more. Access email 20 times faster and browse the web 3-5 times faster on average than uncompressed usage. Works over any standard Internet connection.
