Comar AIS_2_NMEA/2000

The AIS-2-NMEA is a Dual Channel Parallel synthesized AIS receiver designed specifically for the Leisure Marine, Fishing Boat and Vessel Monitoring market. It enables boats sailing in busy shipping lanes, to receive AIS (Automatic Identification System) information being transmitted from Class “A” transponders as fitted to vessels over 300 tons, and non-mandatory Class "B" transponders as fitted to small commercial and leisure craft.

Connected to a compatible dedicated marine Chart Plotter, the information can be displayed on screen giving the skipper or harbour authority a visual interpretation of the name, position, course and speed of vessels within VHF range. This information is updated every 3 seconds to 6 minutes depending on speed and rate of turn, enabling the track of the vessels in range to be plotted.

 

The information that can be received by the AIS-2-NMEA is as follows:

Name of vessel              Call Sign                       Type of Vessel              Destination

Speed (SOG)                 Course (COG)               Heading                        Rate of Turn

Position                     Navigational Status        Vessel dimensions         MMSI Number
