Airmar's SmartBoat

AIRMAR® Technology Corporation, a world leader in ultrasonic transducers and Chirp technology is excited to announce their SmartBoat® Solution has achieved OneNet certification, the third generation NMEA Standard for marine data interfacing and networking. SmartBoat is the only marine electronics solution that integrates devices using current, future, and legacy standards including NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000®, and OneNet.

In addition to utilizing Ethernet technology for a more robust and faster data exchange platform than the widely adopted NMEA 2000, OneNet advantages include easier integration of marine electronics with onboard and internet-based systems via IP networking, enhanced security with encrypted features, and improved interoperability and compatibility among different manufacturers' marine electronics. 

“Airmar’s SmartBoat Solution is a leading example of innovative technology that is designed to simplify the management of onboard systems, improve navigation and safety, and enhance the overall boating experience,” stated Mark Reedenauer, NMEA President & Executive Director. “As the industry adapts to the new OneNet standard, the benefits of more integrated, efficient, and advanced marine systems will become increasingly apparent,” continued Reedenauer. 	

“Airmar is a longtime supporter of the NMEA standards. Having the first product to achieve OneNet certification demonstrates our commitment to advancing the capabilities of marine electronics,” stated Jennifer Matsis, Vice President, Sales & Marketing Airmar.

Airmar's SmartBoat is a universal vessel monitoring and control solution that integrates various sensors and data sources to provide real-time insights and automation for vessels. Airmar SmartBoat and SmartFlex™ products can be purchased by contacting Gemeco Marine Electronics Specialists at www.gemeco.com or Airmar EMEA at www.airmar-emea.com

New Family of Medium Ultra-wide Transducers

AIRMAR® Technology Corporation, a world leader in ultrasonic transducers and Chirp technology, is pleased to introduce a new line of three medium ultra-wide transducers featuring single frequency elements. These Chirp-ready, medium frequency 1 kW transducers feature a unique concave, ceramic array design that delivers an incredible ultra-wide beamwidth up to 73°.

Ideally suited for anglers seeking deeper species – down to 400 m (1,300’) – the new medium B175MW and SS175MW ultra-wide models are low-profile, tilted element, depth and fast-response water-temperature transducers that deliver maximum coverage under the boat. The TM185MW ultra-wide uses the same ceramic array in a urethane bodied transducer with a stainless-steel transom bracket. When the new medium ultra-wide models are paired with other popular Airmar models, such as the B275LHW, anglers are equipped with a broad set of frequencies (low, medium-wide, high-wide) to interrogate targets from deep to shallow.  

“Airmar has strived from day one to continuously develop revolutionary new transducer technologies,” stated Jennifer Matsis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We’ve done it again with our new line of ultra-wide transducers by incorporating a new ceramic array that delivers superior mid-depth performance, excellent fish-target resolution of medium frequency and an incredible, ultra-wide beamwidth coverage under the boat. This combination will be invaluable to anglers searching for tuna, swords and other game fish,” Matsis added. 

These new models give recreational anglers both medium frequency bandwidth and wide beamwidth – a combination they’ve never had before. Medium frequency is the perfect choice for deeper depths than high frequency can deliver. It provides excellent performance on shallow structure and delivers huge coverage in deeper depths where species such as swordfish and tilefish range.  

Three new Medium Ultra-Wide models are available:
TM185MW Transom Mount
B175MW and SS175MW Tilted Element™ Thru-hull
-	1 kW with a maximum depth of 400 m (1,300')
-	Medium frequency: 60-100 kHz 
-	57° to 73° beamwidth (port/starboard), 16° average beamwidth (fore/aft)
-	Tilted element models available in 0°, 12° and 20°
-	Transom version includes a stainless-steel bracket for transom angles up to 21°

At this time, the new medium ultra-wide models can be interfaced with several brands of electronics by manually programming the software of the fishfinder. A Garmin Q1 software update will include automatic identification of Xducer ID®. The new medium ultra-wide line will be available in January 2024. To order contact Gemeco Marine Electronics Specialists at www.gemeco.com or Airmar EMEA at www.airmar-emea.com.

B75HW Tilted Element™ Thru‑hull Transducer

AIRMAR® Technology Corporation, a world leader in ultrasonic transducers and Chirp technology, is pleased to announce their new B75HW Tilted Element™ Thru‑hull Transducer, a high-frequency 150-250 kHz Chirp-ready depth and temperature transducer with a wide 30° beamwidth. Ideally suited for boats up to 8 m (26’), the low-profile B75HW delivers excellent shallow-water performance, bottom detail, and clear fish-target returns with the widest coverage in Airmar’s 600W Chirp-ready line.

“The outstanding benefits of both high frequency and wide beamwidth are merged with the B75HW,” said Jennifer Matsis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The result is 100 kHz of total bandwidth delivering amazing target separation of gamefish and schooling baitfish, plus massive coverage in depths to 106 m (350’), all in just one installation. This is the perfect choice for center consoles and smaller boats, where searching for striped bass or tuna in the upper water column is the tactic of the day.”

The B75HW is available in fixed 20°, 12°, and 0° Tilted Element™ models installed nearly flush to the hull. The tilt of the element corrects for the hull deadrise by orienting the beam directly down, maximizing echo returns to the transducer for more accurate depth readings. 

Offered in a bronze housing for use on stepped, planing or displacement hulls, the B75HW includes Airmar’s patented Xducer ID® technology, which enables the transducer to transmit important data about itself automatically to the connected echosounder. 

The B75HW will initially be available as part of Airmar’s Mix & Match transducer system for fast and simple installation. Dealers can order the B75HW Tilted Element Thru‑hull Transducer by contacting Gemeco Marine Electronics Specialists at www.gemeco.com or Airmar EMEA at www.airmar-emea.com.
