The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) is a US-based marine electronics trade organization setting standards of communication between marine electronics. Standards NMEA 0183 NMEA 2000 NMEA OneNet NMEA OneNet is a latest standard for maritime data networking based on 802.3 Ethernet, and will complement existing onboard NMEA 2000 networks by allowing for high-capacity data transfers. Current maritime data networks have bandwidth capacities of less than 1Mbit/s. Building on Ethernet, OneNet allows for capacity in the hundreds or thousands of megabits per second. This extra bandwidth is needed for transferring unprocessed sensor data from sonar/radars, as well as video feeds from for example an engine room. The primary features and goals of OneNet are as follows: NMEA 2000 data transfer over IPv6 in a standard format High-bandwidth applications such as radar, video and more that are not possible via NMEA 2000 Support Ethernet and TCP/IP at 1 gigabit and faster speeds Utilize standardized connectors (RJ-45 and X-Coded M12) depending on installation Robust, industry-standard cybersecurity requirements NMEA 2000 gateway compatibility Mandatory device & application certification by the manufacturer, then verified by NMEA The use of the X-Coded M12 connector allows for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, but the full capabilities do not have to be utilized, and would also depend on the cabling that is installed.
