High-Speed Data Transmission & Local Logging
Send up to 10 Mbps of data over 300 meters of cable while still securely logging everything onboard the SIDEKICK.
Leverage Spare Channels for Critical Data
Use the spare serial port on the 911plus to relay key status updates or selected instrument data back to the ship.
Charles and Jassem provide excellent support for their products. For both hardware and software, I was able to meet and train with them, and felt very confident in operating our system. In addition to this, through the entire duration of my work with our system, they were always available and communicative if I reached out with questions about functionality and troubleshooting.
