KEY FEATURES

In today’s connected world, your house, car and smart devices ping data to the cloud for monitoring, control and peace of mind – and even diagnostics such as service requirements or software updates. But how about your boat?

Now there’s a solution – NjordLINK takes an innovative, universal and low-cost approach – yet still delivers the best in encryption, privacy and a new generation of applications.

NjordLINK brings ALL your boat’s NMEA 2000 data to the secure Njord cloud and opens your boat to the world of Njord apps and connectivity. It also works with any format of internet connection, from WiFi hotspot, 4G/5G on board systems or Starlink.

It’s a new concept in marine technology so you’ll see the platform quickly evolve – but start thinking about boating in a different way from smart anchoring, historical analysis and predictive maintenance for engines and advanced AI. Literally, if you think it, the Njord cloud can do it!

It doesn’t need expensive, custom sensors as it connects to industry standard NMEA 2000 systems and utilises that data to give you granular information with regular updates as you decide.

Plus! NjordLINK is bi-directional so cloud apps can send data back to the boat. For instance – electrical switching, messaging or alerting.

Connect your NMEA 2000 devices and network to the cloud and take advantage of remote monitoring, historical analysis, new applications and AI thanks to Njord cloud.

NJORDLINK APPS & CLOUD

The NjordLINK app is free on your app store and gets your account created and your NjordLINK device connected in seconds.

The app provides a simple chart and data display page showing the boat’s current position, course, speed and depth information from your boat’s NMEA 2000 network so you can always get reassurance of your boat’s current status.

The data display provides additional information showing which NMEA 2000 device is providing data.

As apps develop, you’ll be able to access them via this platform or via the web.

Unlike many systems, your boat data is end to end encrypted and you can decide who has access from friends and family, fellow boaters or technicians and service agents.

You can download the Njordlink app on the iOS store.

Fits in seconds – just “T” into the NMEA 2000 backbone and it’s self-powered from the network so no other connections required
NjordLINK creates a local wifi hotspot so you can configure using your phone or tablet and then connect to your boat’s internet network
Any internet connection is fine from a simple phone or mifi hotspot, a dedicated 4G/5G router or a Starlink/satellite system – there’s no need for an additional or proprietary data plan

By default, Njordlink creates a wireless Access Point (hotspot) on-board your boat. The Name (SSID) of the Access Point will be “Njordlink-xxxx”, where xxxx is the unique four digit code of your device.

To connect to the Njordlink WiFi, you will need to scan for wireless networks, find and select it in the network list and then when prompted, enter the default WPA2 password, which is “PASS-xxxx”, where xxxx is the same, unique four digit code that is in the hotspot name.

For instance, if the WiFi network name created is Njordlink-D4B7 then the WiFi network password is: PASS-D4B7

NjordLINK requires a NMEA 2000 connection and also needs to wirelessly link to the boat’s internet network so position close to the internet router in a protected area.

Yes. NjordLINK uses secure end to end encryption and you can decide who has access to your data online

Yes – NjordLINK has to deliver the boat data to the cloud so you need an internet connection. It doesn’t consume much bandwidth and we automatically reconnect if the connection drops. A simple phone hotspot, wifi, 4G/5G connection or satellite service such as Starlink can be used.
