The 1st Mate Hub
The 1st Mate hub is mounted in the vessel's console or in an interior
compartment that is protected from the elements. NMEA network, power, and
remote antenna connections are located on the hub. The 1st Mate hub is
powered by battery power from the vessel's key switch circuit. A NMEA
network is not required for operation. The hub uses a dedicated marine
wireless protocol to communicate with wearable devices (fobs) that are worn by
the driver and each passenger.
a - NFC chip
b - RFID sensor
