KEY FEATURES

In today’s connected world, your house, car and smart devices ping data to the cloud for monitoring, control and peace of mind – and even diagnostics such as service requirements or software updates.  But how about your boat?

Now there’s a solution – NjordLINK+ takes an innovative, universal and low-cost approach – yet still delivers the best in encryption, privacy and a new generation of applications.

NjordLINK+ brings ALL your boat’s NMEA 2000 data to the secure Njord cloud and opens your boat to the world of Njord apps and connectivity. It also works with any format of internet connection, from WiFi hotspot, 4G/5G on board systems or Starlink.

It’s a new concept in marine technology so you’ll see the platform quickly evolve – but start thinking about boating in a different way from smart anchoring, historical analysis and predictive maintenance for engines and advanced AI. Literally, if you think it, the Njord cloud can do it!

It doesn’t need expensive, custom sensors as it connects to industry standard NMEA 2000 systems and utilises that data to give you granular information with regular updates as you decide.

Sales FAQs

Can a technician remotely diagnose my NMEA 2000 network with NjordLink+?
−

Yes! NjordLink+ includes an NMEA 2000 network activity monitor that allows technicians to remotely monitor network activity.

This is particularly useful for troubleshooting, diagnosing communication issues and providing technical support without needing to be physically onboard.

Can I receive notifications if something happens on my boat with NjordLink+?
−

Yes. NjordLink+ can send push notifications directly to your smartphone when NMEA 2000 alerts are detected or when user-configured alarm conditions are triggered.

This helps you stay informed about important events on your boat, even when you are ashore.

Does NjordLink+ support J1939 networks and proprietary NMEA 2000 data?
−

Yes. NjordLink+ passes proprietary NMEA 2000 and J1939 PGNs to the cloud, allowing additional manufacturer-specific data to be made available for remote monitoring and integration.

This makes it suitable for a wider range of vessels, including commercial boats and vessels equipped with J1939-compatible engine systems.

Does NjordLink+ have a local web interface?
−

Yes! NjordLink+ features an enhanced and flexible local web interface that provides access to a growing range of powerful onboard tools and applications directly from your web browser, without needing to access the cloud.

The interface includes several built-in apps designed to make boat monitoring, diagnostics and interaction easier:

  • Ask My Boat (AI Chatbot): Ask questions in natural language about your boat and its onboard NMEA data, and get intelligent answers based on the information available from your instruments and sensors.
  • NMEA 2000 Diagnostics: Monitor network activity, inspect NMEA 2000 messages and help identify potential communication issues. Particularly useful for installation, troubleshooting and technical support.

Can I monitor my boat remotely using AI with NjordLink+?
−

Absolutely! NjordLink+ introduces a new AI-powered chatbot that allows you to ask questions about your boat using its live NMEA data.

Instead of manually checking multiple instruments, you can simply ask questions in natural language and get answers based on the information available from your onboard systems.

Can I connect two or more NMEA 2000 networks to NjordLink+?
−

Yes! NjordLink+ can receive data from multiple NMEA 2000 networks. To connect a second NMEA 2000 network, all you need is one of our iKonvert USB-C gateways.

Simply connect your second NMEA 2000 network to the NMEA 2000 cable of the iKonvert, then plug the USB-C connector into an available USB port on NjordLink+.

NjordLink+ will receive the data from both networks, allowing you to monitor information from multiple NMEA 2000 networks through a single system.

Can I receive and send NMEA 0183 data to the cloud?

Yes you can, just add one of our NMEA to USB adaptor cables, plug it in to the Njordlink+ and it will be automatically detected and installed.
A software module called “nmea0183” that is already pre-installed on your NjordLiink+ device, sends every received NMEA 0183 Sentence to the cloud.
Does NjordLink+ take its power from NMEA2000?
−

No. NjordLink+ uses its own 12–24V DC power supply.

Can I view my boat data when I’m not onboard?
−

Yes. Once provisioned, all data is uploaded to the cloud and can be viewed remotely via the NjordLink Plus mobile app, including map position and live NMEA 2000 data.

What happens to my data if the boat doesn’t have an internet connection?
−

If NJORDLINK+ temporarily loses its internet connection, no data is lost.

The unit automatically stores all NMEA 2000 data locally in its internal memory while the connection is unavailable. Once the internet connection is restored, NJORDLINK+ will automatically upload all stored data to the cloud, ensuring a complete and continuous data history.

NJORDLINK+ includes 30GB of internal storage, which is sufficient for extended periods without connectivity. However, if the vessel is expected to be without internet access for a long time, it is recommended to power down the unit to avoid filling the storage with unnecessary data.

This process is fully automatic and requires no user intervention.

Where should I install NjordLINK+?
−

NjordLINK+requires a NMEA 2000 connection and also needs to wirelessly link to the boat’s internet network so position close to the internet router in a protected area.

Is my data secure with NjordLINK+?
−

Yes.  NjordLINK+ uses secure end to end encryption and you can decide who has access to your data online

As a boatbuilder, can you develop a custom app?
−

Yes – we can quickly and affordably develop a custom app.  You can decide on how data is displayed and how to work with historical data for analysis.  Contact us to get a quote.

How can I become a developer?
−

Building apps with Njord cloud is easy using free APIs and scripts to quickly parse and query data.  Contact us and get involved in our webinars online.

Do I need internet connectivity for NjordLINK+ to function?
−

Yes – NjordLINK +has to deliver the boat data to the cloud so you need an internet connection.  It doesn’t consume much bandwidth and we automatically reconnect if the connection drops.  A simple phone hotspot, wifi, 4G/5G connection or satellite service such as Starlink can be used.
