[Music]  hi Jeff Cote with Pacific yacht systems  here we're going to talk about Wi-Fi  antennas what's a Wi-Fi antenna well  basically it's a way for a boater to  connect to Wi-Fi hotspots in and around  your boat so you might be in a marina  and where you are in the marina might be  at the outside finger and you might have  really poor reception on your laptop or  your iPhone or any device that have  Wi-Fi connectivity back to a hot spot at  a marina or it might even be a coffee  shop that decides to give free Wi-Fi  here in the Pacific Northwest there's a  lot of carriers that are now actually  giving free Wi-Fi and so you know being  in the city or in urban areas this is a  really good and convenient way for you  to stay in touch  press apps work remotely getting weather  updates giving updates on Facebook  whatever you might fancy but it's  ultimately it's a way for you to connect  to the internet you'll notice that you  know you generally want to install one  of these antennas either you're gonna  see them on radar masks you're gonna see  them railings on the back of a boat  you're gonna see them on arches there  they're actually meant to be out in the  weather their IP so there's actually  going to be an Ethernet cable from here  back to either the device or what we  often do is we actually install a router  and that router then propagates Wi-Fi  throughout the boat you actually end up  logging in via an app simply through a  browser to this device and you can  actually choose which Wi-Fi hotspot you  want to interconnect to so it's really  convenient straightforward to use and it  basically gives you free internet when  you're in a semi urban or rural area  where there's actually wife spots around  your boat if you've got any further  questions about Wi-Fi antennas I'll  reach out to Pacific Gas systems and  thanks for watching
