Navico Inc 000-14380-001 Simrad V3100 Class B AIS With GPS500

Simrad V3100 Class B AIS

• Enhanced performance compared to standard Class B AIS
• Transmit over greater distances with 5-Watt output power
• Transmit more frequent position updates with SOTDMA
• Greater transmission reliability in high-traffic areas
• Integrated 'black-box' solution
• NMEA 2000(R), dual NMEA 0183(R), and USB connectivity
• IP67 water-resistant housing
• Built-in SD card slot for AIS data logging

The V3100 Class B AIS incorporates the same SOTDMA technology found in Class A solutions. This self-organising transmission technology allows the system to negotiate a regular transmission timeslot with other AIS units in range, facilitating more frequent and reliable position updates in high-traffic areas. The V3100 transmits updates, based on vessel speed, up to once every five seconds; this provides up to six times the reporting frequency of standard Class B AIS.

The V3100 features a maximum transmission power of 5 Watts, 2.5 times the transmission power of standard Class B AIS solutions. This allows vessels equipped with the V3100 to be detected over AIS at a greater range, and provides more reliable transmission to satellite-based AIS receivers.

This 'black box' AIS solution is designed to work with Simrad and B&G multifunction displays, and other NMEA 2000(R) or NMEA 0183(R) connected marine electronics. Output to a standard PC is also supported via USB connectivity. The V3100 is contained in a compact IP67 water-resistant housing, and includes a built-in SD card slot for standalone AIS data logging.
