Digital Yacht - iKommunicate NMEA 2000/0183 to Signal K Gateway

Transforming Marine Navigation with Signal K Connectivity

The Digital Yacht iKommunicate is an advanced gateway device designed to revolutionize marine navigation systems by bridging traditional NMEA networks with modern Signal K technology. This intelligent solution enables seamless data conversion, making it easier for boaters to access, share, and utilize critical navigation data through web-based applications and mobile devices.

By translating NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 data into the open-source Signal K format, iKommunicate allows users to experience the benefits of a connected marine ecosystem. Whether for navigation, monitoring, or system integration, this device ensures that vessels stay up to date with the latest advancements in marine technology.

Advanced Gateway Features for Marine Networks

Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the iKommunicate offers robust connectivity options to integrate effortlessly into onboard networks. It features three opto-isolated NMEA0183 inputs, two differential NMEA0183 outputs, and an NMEA2000-certified gateway with an integral drop cable, ensuring compatibility with various marine electronics.

The device is equipped with a powerful 120MHz Atmel processor, efficiently converting NMEA data into the Signal K JSON format. This modern format allows for data transmission via HTTP and high-speed WebSockets, ensuring real-time accessibility across multiple platforms.
