Yes, I have known something about this for a while (because I promised not to write about it), but it's purely coincidental that NMEA is announcing OneNet just after we once again discussed the crying need for a NMEA 2000-to-Ethernet/WiFi standard. OneNet appears to be all that and much more...Before I go further, though, please note that this is an announcement of a standard that is "scheduled to be operational by late 2014"...so we're talking about the future of marine electronics, not the present. That said, here is the full press release PDF. One of several things I find interesting is that the top listed goal for OneNet is to "Transport NMEA 2000 network messages on Ethernet in a standardized manner" or as the release's subtitle says "Think of it as NMEA 2000 on steroids." That's because OneNet will break out of N2K's speed ...![Sport Fishing Mag]()
