Wave WiFi Now Integrated with Simrad and B&G Multifunction Displays

Wave WiFi is now integrated directly with Simrad and B&G multifunction displays, bringing onboard internet visibility and control to the helm. Any vessel equipped with compatible Simrad or B&G multifunction displays can now integrate Wave WiFi directly at the helm, delivering a significant advancement in marine connectivity and network management. This Simrad marine WiFi integration gives you onboard internet visibility and control directly from your MFD.

Simrad marine WiFi integration on the helm display

Traditionally, marine internet systems have operated separately from navigation electronics. Even advanced marine routers required logging into a browser based dashboard from a phone, tablet, or laptop to view network status or switch between internet sources. While functional, that approach kept connectivity outside the primary operating environment of the vessel.

With Wave WiFi integrated into Simrad and B&G MFDs, marine WiFi management becomes part of the helm experience. Captains can view available WiFi networks, confirm which WAN source is active, and monitor real time connection status directly from the multifunction display. Charts, radar, sonar, and onboard connectivity now exist within the same operational interface. With this Simrad marine WiFi integration, you can monitor your connection and manage internet sources without leaving the helm.

As vessels increasingly rely on onboard internet for weather downloads, chart updates, remote monitoring, crew communication, streaming, and cloud based services, visibility is critical. When switching between marina WiFi, cellular LTE or 5G, and satellite systems such as Starlink, operators need clarity. Integrating marine internet status into Simrad and B&G displays eliminates guesswork and strengthens operational awareness.

This development positions Wave WiFi as more than a standalone marine router. It becomes an integrated component of the vessel’s electronics ecosystem. Builders and installers can deliver a cleaner helm layout without adding separate monitoring screens. Owners gain centralized control over their marine internet system without stepping away from the helm.

For boaters evaluating a marine WiFi system for Simrad or B&G electronics, compatibility and integration are now key considerations. Wave WiFi supports multi source connectivity including marina WiFi, cellular broadband, and satellite internet, while presenting network visibility directly on compatible displays. This makes it an ideal solution for new builds, refits, offshore cruisers, sportfish vessels, trawlers, and charter operations seeking reliable onboard internet.

Wave WiFi continues to focus on marine specific engineering, US based support, and purpose built connectivity solutions for modern vessels. With direct integration on Simrad and B&G multifunction displays, onboard internet is no longer treated as a separate accessory. It becomes visible, manageable, and fully aligned with the way today’s boats are operated.
