iAISTX Plus has been designed specifically for the growing number of boaters who use an iPad or Android tablet for their navigation tasks. As a full function Class B transponder, it sends your boat position and identity data to other AIS equipped vessels as well as providing a wireless interface for mobile devices with popular apps to display received data from other AIS equipped vessels.

This PLUS model also has a NMEA 2000 interface (with integral drop cable) so that it can integrate with modern plotters, instruments and multi-function displays to provide AIS functionality.

iAISTX Plus creates a secure, password protected, local Wi-Fi network which allows AIS and GPS data to be sent to popular iOS and Android apps such as Navionics, iSailor, Weather4D, SailGrib, iNavX, TimeZero and more. These apps offer a detailed overlay of local AIS targets all updated in real-time. Depending upon the app, you can click on a target and can see identity as well as collision avoidance data such as CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to closest point of approach).

AIS transponders require one time programming with the boat’s identity and physical dimensions and this is done through a simple, embedded web interface via the tablet’s browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.).  This can also be used to silence the transmission and set up wireless parameters such as passwords.  Installation is simple – just connect power (12/24v), mount the supplied external GPS antenna and connect to a separate dedicated VHF antenna or to the boat’s existing VHF antenna using our SPL1500 or SPL2000 AIS-VHF antenna splitters.

Features:

• Class B AIS transponder with a wireless interface for phones, tablets, iPads and PCs
• NMEA 2000 interface for plotter and multi function display AIS compatability
• Support for all the latest target types such as ATONs and AIS MOB devices
• Latest HF AIS technology for superior performance
• UDP and TCP/IP protocols supported for up to 7 connected devices
• Password protected, secure wireless connection
• Internal wifi antenna will typically footprint a boat up to 60ft in length
• Supplied with external GPS antenna and 10m (33ft) cable which can be deck mounted or fitted to standard 1” mount
• Compatible with 100s apps.  See our reviews at www.digitalyacht.net
• LED status indicators for wireless connection, data, status, time out, power and silent mode
• Easy embedded web interface for programming
• Measures just 20 x 14 x 4.5cm
• 12/24V operation and ultra-low 2W consumption

The AIS700 from Raymarine is a Class B Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceiver designed for use with Raymarine multifunction navigation display systems.  AIS is an international marine navigation safety system that allows participating vessels to silently exchange key navigation information including vessel name, identification, course, speed and more.  AIS contacts can be displayed on Raymarine multifunction displays, chartplotters, radar displays and select instruments.  As a Class B AIS transceiver, the AIS700 not only receives broadcasts from other vessels, it also transmits your own boat’s information too helping you to be seen on other vessels’ systems.

The AIS700 is engineered using the very latest SO-TDMA (Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access) networking technology which allows it to perform faster and at longer ranges than d speed over previous generation AIS products.  For ease-of-installation, the AIS700 has a built in VHF-band antenna splitter which allows it to share a single antenna with your current VHF radio.  AIS700 also has its own internal, dedicated 72-channel GPS receiver with external antenna as required by international standards.  

AIS700 also supports both hardware and software-enabled Silent Mode.  This allows you to temporarily restrict broadcasting your vessels own data, while continuing to receive updates from surrounding traffic.  Silent Mode can be particularly useful when transiting waters where extra security is a concern, or even in competitive tournament scenarios when you might want to prevent other from finding out the location of the hot bite.  Normal AIS safety broadcasts can be easily reinstated with a few simple touches of the AIS controls in your Raymarine MFD, or with the flip of a switch for hardware-silenced systems.

The AIS700 is super-compact for easy mounting inside your helm, in a service locker, or other out-of-the-way location.  It can connect to your other onboard electronics using the latest NMEA2000 networking.  AIS700 also has a built-in NMEA0183 multiplexer to assist in connecting it to older MFD’s and VHF radio systems.  AIS700 also has a built-in USB 2.0 connection that can be used to tie the transceiver into a computer or laptop running AIS compatible navigation software.  AIS700 has a Secure Digital (SD) memory slot that can be fitted with an owner-suppled flash memory card for continuous recording of the AIS data stream.  

Features:

• Full transmit and receive AIS for enhanced situational awareness and safety
• Latest SO-TDMA networking for longer range and faster performance
• Built-in antenna splitter simplifies installation with existing VHF radio antenna
• NMEA2000, NMEA0183, PC and SeaTalk^ng Compatible
