Cell Booster Makes Onboard Life More Productive

Shakespeare Cell Booster
Mar 21, 2016

Life today demands a 24/7 connection, but reception on the water is notoriously uneven. Dropped calls and marginal service are a thing of the past for users of Shakespeare®’s SuperHALO™ 5-Band Cellular Booster. The new 100+ Mbps device will increase cellular reception for 10+ users simultaneously.
 
A marine-grade onboard voice and data solution, SuperHALO is compatible with all US and Canada 2G, 3G and 4G networks. It doesn’t need to be connected by a licensed installer. This keeps it within the reach of those who need a simple and cost-effective way to access high speed Internet on multiple devices.
 
Running on 12V DC, the energy efficient device draws a meager 2.1 amps. It features stealth technology—the uplink becomes dormant when not in use to save on power—and has automatic shutdown.
 
SuperHALO has automatic gain control and won’t overpower or interfere with cell sites. It’s also manually adjustable, providing flexibility in placement and fine-tuning of the antennas. This booster is RoHS compliant, FCC certified and carrier approved.
 
Compact, it’s only 7-7/8″ L x 5″ W x 1-3/16″ D and weighs a mere 2 lbs. 3 oz., even with its durable metal construction. The external antenna’s standard 1-1/4″ thread makes it compatible with a broad range of Shakespeare mounting options. Each SuperHALO kit contains one external and two internal antennas—only one internal antenna is needed— a cell booster and two lengths of coax. Longer cables and signal splitters for additional indoor wireless applications are available.
 
Shakespeare’s SuperHALO 5-Band Cellular Booster comes with a three-year warranty.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
