Neptune Systems Apex 1 Link Module

1LINK Easy, one-click installation

The WAV is the first of a line of aquarium products from Neptune Systems that will use a completely new interface. While many in the aquarium world continue to embrace wireless technologies for interconnectivity, we have decided to go the other direction a wire.

Wireless connectivity from your smartphone or tablet to your Apex (or another controller) is completely logical and we embrace that. However, wireless used for the interconnecting of devices within the confines of common aquariums (that are mostly less than 6ft long) is not only unnecessary, but it reduces reliability. Our philosophy is that when distances are measured in a few feet, wireless is a solution looking for a problem. And ironically, wireless really does not save wires. You still need to use a wire to get power to the devices anyway. And let’s not forget configuration wireless devices require syncing, endless button presses and arcane steps to get them to connect up hopefully with you and not your neighbour. Finally, for all this benefit, you as the consumer get the added cost of this wireless technology that must be baked into the price of every device you buy.

So after much study of the problem, our answer is 1LINK. It is called 1LINK because there is one power supply, one module (for up to three 1LINK devices), and a one-click connection of a wire that carries not only the power for the device but two-way communication from it to your Apex. Setup is simply clicked and go.

Fewer wires, fewer configuration headaches, and best of all, less cost to you as a consumer
