A Long Distance WiFi Solution For Your Boat or RV
A Complete Long Distance WiFi Solution for your Boat or RV
The Wirie is a complete wireless solution for the boat and RV, that’s easy to use, easy to install, and most importantly, greatly increases your ability to access wireless networks from the comfort of your boat or RV!
• Simply mount The Wirie, install the included software, and plug the USB cable into your computer.
• Completely waterproof enclosure and antenna allow for permanent installation outside.
• Two marine grade mounting options to choose from:
The Pole Mount bracket allows for mounting on 1" to 2" tubing. The bracket can be mounted on horizontal tubing as well as vertical tubing with up to a 30 degree slant. The antenna in any WiFi solution must be mounted in a 100% vertical orientation for the best possible performance. This mount gives you flexibility in choosing your mounting location.
The Antenna Mount bracket allows for mounting on any standard antenna mount that uses a 1"-14 threaded mount. Standard antenna mounts give you the ability to adjust the angle of the antenna to be in a 100% vertical orientation
• The Wirie can be hoisted as well for higher antenna positioning if needed and it can also be wall mounted.
• All mounting hardware is stainless steel and aluminum to provide a long, rust-free life, especially important in the marine environment.
• Waterproof enclosure keeps all wire connections and WiFi adapter protected from the elements. The Wirie is rated at IP67 and NEMA6 (this means you can submerge The Wirie for 30 minutes in 1 meter of water with no water ingress).
• Hinged enclosure allows easy access to and removal of WiFi adapter so it can also be used off your boat or RV with your laptop. (Includes 5dBi mini antenna and 3’ USB cable for portability.)
• 8dBi Antenna is attached to enclosure to ensure extremely short coax cable run from antenna to WiFi adapter. (The longer the coax run the more signal loss there is.)
• 15’ of USB cable allows the cable to be run to the interior of the boat or RV, and the length can be extended with USB Active Extension cables up to 79 feet. (No signal loss in USB cable.)
• There is only one USB cable (included) to connect, no other power sources or Ethernet cables often used in more complicated installations are needed.
• Create your own "hotspot" on your boat to allow multiple computers to access the internet at the same time. No additional hardware, wiring, or electricity needed like in most Ethernet based solutions.
• The Wirie is compatible with all 802.11g and 802.11b networks. (Ask why 11b is often better in the marine environment.)
• The Wirie supports all current security protocols in order to access secured networks as well as “open” networks.
• The Wirie is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Linux (2.6.X), and Mac (10.6, 10.5, 10.4 and 10.3). Requires one USB 1.1/2.0 compliant port.
• The Wirie is easily upgraded in the future, as new and improved technology is available, by just replacing the WiFi adapter inside the waterproof case.
• The Wirie utilizes the best 1000mW WiFi adapter on the market. The average laptop internal WiFi card transmits at only 50mW.
• The Wirie utilizes a marine grade 8dBi omnidirectional antenna in order to provide the longest range possible for the marine environment while maintaining stable connections as the boat swings or rolls.
• Available Colors: Pacific Blue, Burgundy Red, SOLAS Yellow (reflectors not included)

Boating Safety
Capt. Chuck at CLR Marine would like you to think before taking your boat out. It is in your own best interest to take a boating safety course and have a boat safety inspection to check for the mandatory safety equipment.
The US Coast Guard can provide you with a list of mandatory as well as suggested boat safety equipment. You can also find a copy at CLR Marine under Of Interest to Boaters.
Life jackets, or personal floatation devices as they are officially called, should be readily available for every occupant of the vessel. They should also be adjusted to the size of the person who is intended to wear them in case of an emergency. They should be in good working order with all the straps and clips in place and operational. It is a good idea to have them fitted to the persons so that if necessary they can be put on without much further adjusting. In most states there is a minimum age of 13 for which a life jacket must be worn at all times.
As a large part of boating safety, there should also be a recently inspected fire extinguisher. It should be clearly marked so that anybody can spot them if necessary and get to it in time. There are different types of fire extinguishers, designed to extinguish different kinds of fires. For boating safety it is advisable to get a Type B or C fire extinguisher, these are designed for tackling fires originated or fueled by oil, grease and gas, or electrical fires.
If your vessel has a certain size, most states will require the presence of some sort of sanitation devices as a part of the boating safety as well as for health purposes. Make sure they are Coast Guard approved and are specifically designed for use on board a vessel.
Flare guns, or visual distress signals are another thing that most states will require as a part of the boating safety equipment. In case of an emergency these can send a bright signal in the skies, alerting the rescue forces to your position. The flare gun must again be readily accessible for a speedy use, but on the other hand they must be stored safely and out of reach of children, as they can cause a lot of damage when wrongly used.
As a final part of boating safety, especially for boats with gasoline engines and specifically when the engine is mounted in the vessel, good ventilation is cardinal. Not only to avoid any buildup of carbon monoxide, endangering the crew with poisoning, but also to prevent gasoline fumes from building up and becoming a serious explosion or fire hazard.
Be safe and enjoy your time on the water,
Capt. Charles W Reed
