Page 3: General Introduction To B&G Network
GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO B&G NETWORK Welcome to the B&G Network system. This world beating series of intelligent navigational instruments has been brought to you through a combination of scientific innovation and high quality production to create a computerised data system you can trust. As an intelligent system each unit can be used by itself to display specific data, alternatively any combination of units can be linked into a Network with units processing their own data or acting as repeaters for data from other units. -
