Savant DataLink
The Savant DataLink BLE NMEA2000 – Gateway, enables seamless integration of BLE-based device data into the NMEA2000 protocol. Designed specifically for the marine industry, this innovative gateway empowers manufacturers to bring their BLE-enabled products into the NMEA2000 ecosystem—effortlessly and efficiently.
Why It Matters
NMEA2000 is the standardized communication protocol that powers digital telemetry across marine dashboards, multifunction displays (MFDs), and onboard systems. Until now, integrating BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices into NMEA2000 has been not available.
Savant Technology saw the challenge—and the opportunity. The result is the Savant DataLink BLE NMEA2000 – Gateway, a purpose-built device that translates BLE data into NMEA2000 messages, making BLE-enabled devices fully interoperable with existing marine electronics.
Key Features
- Preloaded PGNs: All approved NMEA2000 Parameter Group Numbers (PGNs) are pre-coded into the gateway for immediate use.
- Simple Onboarding: Use the Savant Gateway App to authorize BLE devices with a secure handshake to the NMEA2000 bus.
- System-Wide Visibility: Once connected, data from your BLE devices appears instantly across all MFDs and devices linked to the NMEA2000 network.
- Two-Way Communication: Supports control signals from NMEA2000 back to the BLE device—if the manufacturer has enabled this capability (see app for details).
System Architecture
The Bottom Line
The Savant DataLink BLE NMEA2000 – Gateway delivers what the marine industry has long needed: a fast, reliable, and user-friendly way to connect BLE technology to the NMEA2000 network. It accelerates integration, expands compatibility, and unlocks new possibilities for smart marine solutions.
Savant DataHub
The Savant DataHub Gateway enables seamless integration and management of data from BLE and other communication protocols across your marine-based devices. Designed specifically for the marine industry, this innovative solution empowers manufacturers to achieve total connectivity, bringing multiple onboard systems together into a unified, streamlined network for enhanced visibility, control, and performance.
Why It Matters
Modern marine systems rely on multiple communication protocols to deliver data across onboard devices, displays, and control systems. While NMEA2000 plays an important role in marine networking, it represents only one part of today’s connected marine environment.
The Savant DataHub is designed to manage total connectivity, seamlessly integrating data from BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and other communication protocols into a unified, marine-ready solution. Purpose-built for the marine industry, the DataHub enables manufacturers to connect, manage, and share data across diverse onboard systems—bringing greater flexibility, interoperability, and control to modern marine electronics.
