WHAT IS INCLUDED

This package consists of an AIS Transponder with NMEA 2000 to WiFi server. Products include:

• NavLink2 – NMEA 2000 to WiFi Server
• AIT2000 or AIT2500 – Class B or B+ AIS Transponder
• VHF & GPS Antennas
• NMEA 2000 Starter Kit

KEY FEATURES

The perfect pack to receive AIS and to transmit your position as well as streaming wirelessly all your navigation data on navigation apps & software.

In this pack, you have the option to choose between the Class B AIS Transponder AIT2000 or the Class B+ 5W AIS Transponder AIT2500. Both of them have the same functionality but the AIT2500 uses our latest Class B+ SOTDMA technology – this offers 2.5x transmit power of regular Class B plus a more frequent position update based on the speed of the vessel. Just like a commercial Class A transponder, SOTDMA technology also guarantees a transmission slot in areas of high AIS traffic.

The AIT2000 and AIT2500 are complete with GPS (10m cable) and VHF antenna (20m cable). The VHF antenna is a 15cm VHF heliflex antenna, this is specifically tuned to AIS (162MHz) frequencies for optimal performance. They have both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 interfaces as well as a USB PC/MAC connection. There is also a 2nd NMEA output to provide a GPS feed for a DSC VHF radio. The AIT2000 or AIT2500 can also be fitted with a silence switch to mute transmissions.

The NavLink2 is an easy to fit NMEA 2000 to WiFi server, with a design to allow NMEA 2000 navigation data available for apps on smartphones, tablets, iPads and PCs. Once installed, it creates a local WiFi network for devices to connect. All the navigation data on the NMEA 2000 network will be displayed on detailed electronic charting through compatible software & apps including NavLink, TimeZero, iAIS, iSailor, Seapilot and hundreds more. The tablet and PC/Mac become a full function navigation display.

The NavLink2 and AIS have an NMEA 2000 interface so the installation is very easy with our NMEA 2000 starter kitincluded in the pack. NMEA2000 uses a simple backbone (or sometimes called “trunk”) structure. This requires terminators at each end of the cabling where each device can be spurred off using a drop cable. The bus also requires power. Furthermore, the waterproof connectors throughout ensure maximum reliability and it makes for an easy plug ‘n play installation.
