The Digital Yacht AIS100 AIS Receiver, part number ZDIGAIS100, is an entry-level, dual-channel AIS receiver designed for marine applications. It provides a cost-effective solution for integrating AIS target reception into existing navigation systems. This device is suitable for businesses and individuals operating vessels who require the ability to receive AIS data, such as vessel identification, position, course, and speed, from other AIS-equipped vessels within a 20-mile range. It connects to an existing AIS-compatible chart plotter or radar system via a High Speed NMEA output (38,400 baud). The AIS100 addresses the need for enhanced situational awareness on the water by enabling the display of nearby vessel traffic, contributing to improved navigation and collision avoidance. It requires either an existing VHF antenna (via a splitter) or a dedicated AIS antenna for operation. The unit features an IP54 black box design for straightforward installation.
The AIS100 is designed for use with existing AIS-compatible chart plotters, including units from Garmin, Raymarine, Navico, Standard Horizon, and Furuno. It provides High Speed NMEA output (38,400 baud) for data integration.
The product includes the AIS100 receiver itself, which is an IP54 black box solution. A VHF antenna (or splitter) or a dedicated AIS antenna is required for operation and is available as an optional accessory, not included with the receiver.
The primary use case is to add AIS target reception capabilities to a vessel's existing navigation system. It allows users to receive AIS data from other vessels within a 20-mile radius, enhancing situational awareness and aiding in navigation and collision avoidance.
The AIS100 features a High Speed NMEA output, operating at 38,400 baud. This ensures efficient data transfer to connected chart plotters or radar systems.
