2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
weBBoat 3G/4G IT1004 is the new integrated system for surfing the internet
with 4G network and Wi-Fi both with the boat anchored in the harbor and
along the coast at more than 10 nautical miles, suitable for all types of
boats, ships and yachts where coverage of GSM networks and Wi-Fi permits.
The weBBoat 4G is also compatible with LTE, 3G systems, UMTS and GPRS
data.
NOTE The distance from the coast within which the weBBoat works
depends on the 3G/4G signal coverage from the transmitter of your
telephone operator, on the correct installation of weBBoat and on its
height.
Inside the ASA radome there is a 3G/4G antenna, a Wi-Fi antenna, a specifically constructed router with dedicated software to operate on the boat and
an access point which, protected from the elements, allow you to have a
simple and convenient high-speed internet connection on your boat in a few

versa to be certain of an internet connection without interruptions and costeffective. Finally, to manage in an extremely easy and convenient manner

the shaft cross with the support Glomex code ITM001 (not supplied).
The weBBoat must be fixed to the support by tightening the screw on the
bottom of weBBoat with a screwdriver (Fig. 6).
IMPORTANT: Do not install the weBBoat masthead.

Warning:
- The weBBoat must be fixed to a base/support by tightening the screw
in the base of the weBBoat by means of a screwdriver (
Fig. 6 ).
- The installation of the weBBoat near or above a flat metal surface
may result in significant reduction of the Wi-Fi and 3G/4G signal
strength.
- Do not mount the weBBoat near metal obstructions that may interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.
On metal crafts, the Wi-Fi signal is blocked, for this reason it is necessary to
place a second access point (up to a maximum of 4 APs) inside the boat and
connect them with a switch (optional) to the router inside of weBBoat via an
Ethernet cable (optional) (Fig. 9). The access point present inside the
radome can be used for the Wi-Fi coverage outside the boat.
Electric connections
For the proper functioning of weBBoat, simply connect the antenna to a 12/
24 Vdc power supply cable (not provided) according to the following guidelines.
Connect the red (positive) and the black wire (negative) coming out from the
base of weBBoat to the battery through a red/black power cable. The connection can be made by soldering or with a clamp. It is advisable to have this
procedure carried out by a technician.
IMPORTANT
: The polarity reversal on the power supply will burn the fuse.
The power line (not supplied) which connects the two wires coming out from
the base of weBBoat must have cables with a cross section of 1.5 mm² by a
length up to 10 m, and 2.5 mm² for longer lengths.
WARNING: in the power line, we recommend placing a switch upstream to
avoid electricity consumption when the weBBoat is not used.

NOTE: In order to receive the signal from the weBBoat inside metal crafts,
up to a maximum of four access points (according to your needs) must be
placed inside the boat, which must be linked with a switch to the router
inside the weBBoat via an Ethernet network cable.

S
CAUTION
Some hotspots cannot be used by the weBBoat because the
device is recognized as a router.
Finally, to return to the 3G/4G, click the yellow button "4G Ready" (Fig. 36).

3G/4G when the Wi-Fi signal is no longer received.
If the Wi-Fi signal is weak, you can force the use of 3G/4G by clicking on "4G READY" (Fig. 35).
WARNING: if you change the SIM card in the weBBoat, repeat the proce-
dure from chapter 5.
