Glomex weBBoat Plus 5G with SIM Extender 5G/4G Internet for Boats

weBBoat® Plus 5G with SIM Extender – 5G/4G/Wi-Fi Internet for Boats

The Glomex weBBoat® Plus 5G with SIM Extender is the first integrated COASTAL INTERNET 5G/4G/Wi-Fi Multi SIM All-in-One Plug & Play system designed by Glomex for ultra-high-speed internet browsing, ensuring stable and fast connections at distances of over 30 miles from the coast.

The SIM Extender allows the use of up to 4 SIM cards in the vicinity and enables flexible placement of the device thanks to an RJ45 Ethernet cable up to 100 meters long, ensuring maximum performance in terms of both speed and coastal coverage. The connection is made via a LAN port using a standard Ethernet cable.

High-performance connectivity

weBBoat® Plus 5G is equipped with 4 high-performance 5G/LTE/4G/3G antennas that receive the internet signal and relay it inside the fiberglass boat via a secure and protected 2.4/5 GHz MIMO Wi-Fi network, which can be used simultaneously by 32 different and authorized devices.

If a known and available Wi-Fi network is present (for example, the marina Wi-Fi), weBBoat® Plus 5G will automatically connect to it to keep internet connection costs down.

Advanced features

• 5G downloads up to 2.5 Gbps thanks to the CAT 23 module – the same speed as a fiber connection, but completely wireless
• LTE CAT 16: 4G speeds up to 1 Gbps in areas without 5G coverage
• Carrier Aggregation: combines multiple LTE bands into a single channel to maximize speed
• Automatic APN: quick and easy setup with automatic selection of the carrier's APN
• Multi-eSIM support: simple and immediate SIM management
• VLAN support: create separate and secure networks on board (with an optional external managed Glomex switch), isolating navigation, guest, and service devices
• Starlink integration: compatible with Starlink and other satellite connections as a reliable failover solution
• Autoswitch mode: priority connection management between marina Wi-Fi, mobile SIM, and SAT/Starlink
• Encrypted peer-to-peer connection in real time for remote configuration and technical support
• Integrated speed test
• Glomex MIoT Routerboard platform with a high-performance processor
• Management and configuration via the Glomex weBBoat App

Thanks to Plug & Play technology, the 5G module is integrated into the dome and only requires a 9 to 30 Volt power cable and a Micro-SIM or eSIM to operate – quick and hassle-free installation.
