[TG] [TG11] Miracast with the Axiom Pro

[John2344]

Hi Tom, thanks.

Nothing wrong with that. I am talking about additional unnecessaty ad-hoc wifi connections. When the miracast adapter is on the wifi infrastructure of the boat, with a connection to the on board router, and the Axiom is connected by WiFi to the router for internet access, to get updates, weather, community provided nav data, this connection can be used. Also tablets and smart phones are part of the WLAN on board to share a existing internet connection and talk to each other. It makes sense to leverage this infrastructure for the raymarine RayRemote, RayControl, RayViewer app instead of disconnecting Internet on the plotter and on the tablet to establish an adhoc p2p connection, same for Miracast.

The plotter is any way busy on wifi and on LAN (StHS), the StHS can also be used with a LAN-WLAN repeater somewhere inside of the vessel to integrate mobile devices into the high speed backbone and reduce the load / free ressources on the plotter and in the air, improve the connectivity and use the ressources for the navigation instead of communication.

Network connectivity becomes more important in the future with IoT, also on board. It just makes sense to not artificially limit the connectivity options.

Just saying.

Kind regards
John
