GME Class B AIS Transceiver: Keep in Touch with GME AIS SystemsThe AIST120 can be considered as a vessel's electronic beacon. By regularly broadcasting critical static and dynamic information to all similarly equipped vessels within range, the AIST120 provides boat owners with a vital navigation tool, particularly when operating at night or under poor visibility conditions. Transmitted data includes vessel name, length, registration, plus speed over the ground (SOG), course over the ground (COG), as well as location coordinates which are automatically calculated and updated by the AIST120's integrated 50 channel GPS receiver. The AIST120 through its ultra sensitive dual channel Rmax technology will receive and decode transmitted AIS data from other vessels, AtoNs and base stations within VHF range; this information can be displayed on a compatible chart plotter, radar or PC charting system. Received AIS information positively identifies any commercial vessel within range, it also provides its radio call sign, heading, closest point of approach (CPA) and time to CPA. Using this information leisure craft can make a VHF radio call to the vessel in question to verify its intended course and avoid collision. Through the application cutting edge TDMA technology the AIST120 is compatible and inter-operable with both Class A and B AIS systems through the VHF radio data link.An internal GPS antenna makes for easy installation; however the AIST120 has provision for an external GPS antenna input for installations requiring the use of an optional external GPS antenna. (GPS450). The GME AIST120 has dual NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 interfaces for simplistic connection to stand alone chart plotters or integration into more sophisticated on-board communication networks. - Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) - Vessel name - Vessel call sign (if available) - Vessel type - Vessel dimensions.The AIST120 has the option for a toggle switch (not supplied) to be connected, offering a silent mode. No vessel information will be transmitted when silent mode is active.The AIS Radio works in an autonomous and continuous mode, regardless of whether it is operating in the open seas, coastal or inland areas. Transmissions frequency is between 156.025 MHz or 162.025 MHz. Received data is on either 161.975 MHz or 162.025 MHz. There are two categories of information transmitted by an AIS Radio: 'static data' and 'dynamic data'. The vessel's dynamic data, which includes location, speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG), is calculated automatically using the internal GPS receiver. An optional external GPS can be connected (GPS450) to the AIST120, an AD408 adaptor is also required. Static data is information about the vessel which must be programmed into the AIS Radio. Software is included to enable the AIST120 to be programmed with ship's data.GME AIST120 Features: 50 channel internal GPS receiver Silent transmit mode option NMEA 0183/2000 compatible 12-24 V DC input voltage IEC 61108-1 compliant IPX7 construction Low power consumption Mechanical Specifications: Power: DC (9.6V - 31.2V), Average power consumption 170mA at 12VDC, Peak current rating 2A Dimensions: 140 x 100 x 42 mm (L x W x H) Weight: 250g Plotter: GPS Receiver: 50 channel IEC 61108-1 compliant Sonar: Output Power (RMS): 2 Watts +/- 1.5dB What's in the Box: AIS Radio (class B) Power and data cable, screw pack Product CD Quick start guide Instruction manual Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose GME, you're choosing quality and performance.

GME Zero Loss Active VHF Antenna Splitter: Keep in Touch with GME AIS SystemsVHF radios and AIS devices operate within the same frequency band and as such can use the same VHF antenna. The AISS120 Active Antenna Splitter permits a standard marine VHF antenna to serve both the AIS device and VHF radio without any degradation of signal. Using advanced signal processing the AISS120 is the perfect solution for AIS installations on boats where additional antenna mounting space is not available. Clear Call Routing provides a key safety feature, ensuring VHF radio emergency priority and full operational performance even when power fails.The AISS120 AIS antenna splitter is designed to work primarily with class B AIS Radios such as the AIST120, although it will operate equally well with AIS receivers such as the AISR120.The AISS120 is supplied with the necessary cables to connect to a VHF radio and either the AIST120 or AISR120.One of the most important safety features and fastest growth areas in marine Navigation is AIS - Automatic Identification System. This collision avoidance technology is particularly valuable to boaters who regularly travel or fish in busy waterways or near major shipping routes. Having an operating AIS transponder onboard will turn your boat into a visible radio beacon indicating your speed, course and identity to other AIS equipped vessels or base stations.An AIS receiver will allow you to track other AIS traffic in the area and identify 'Aids to Navigation' (AtoN) even when not visibly by sight. You'll no longer be inhibited by limitations like 'inline-of-site' radar. Unlike radar, AIS allows you to 'see' other AIS equipped craft behind obstructions like islands and land masses or hidden behind another vessel, and is equally effective in fog or darkness. AIS information is displayed on dedicated AIS screens or AIS compatible Chartplotters.GME AISS120 Features: For use with AIS receivers, Radios and VHF radios 156-163 MHz range Industry standard connectors 12-24 V DC input voltage IPX7 construction Low power consumption What's in the Box: Antenna splitter Power and data cable, screw pack 2 x accessory cables (1 x PL259-PL259, 1 x BNC-PL259) Quick start guide Instruction manual Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose GME, you're choosing quality and performance.
