My TB20 now has three distinct WiFi networks, each with its own SSID. The Avidyne IFR FMS sits on the first network and utilises the associated IFD100 app for runtime control and remote EFIS display; also, route upload from SkyDemon / ForeFlight. The second network is associated with the Golze weather radar which has its own panel-mount touch-screen display but is most easily controlled via its own WiFi app. The Golze weather radar can also usefully be overlaid on SkyDemon / ForeFlight. The third network is now the SkyEcho2 for traffic.
The problem is that my single iPad can only connect to one WiFi network at a time and it’s a major pain in-flight swapping network in order to update the IFD / Golze, losing SE traffic for the duration. I also can’t receive SE traffic and weather radar data simultaneously as they’re on two different networks. Has no avionics manufacturer considered this multi-network problem ? Ideally, there’d be a network hub that allows my single iPad to talk on all three networks simultaneously without having to dynamically change the iPad network connection, apps automatically talking to their respective unit.
