What is NMEA 2000 (N2K)?
The NMEA 2000 Marine Network Standard was developed by various companies in and outside of the industry. More than 40 marine organizations have invested time and resources to create NMEA 2000 based on CAN (Controller Area Network).
The NMEA 2000 network is an open true plug and play system, installing is just a matter of plugging in. When new NMEA 2000 certified products are purchased, the owner, boat dealer or electronics dealer will only have to plug the new certified product onto the network. Only NMEA 2000 certified products can communicate with each other.
