Icom MA-500TR Class B AIS Transponder and GPS Receiver
Class B AIS transponder and GPS receiver, MFG# MA500TR KIT, The Icom MA-500TR Class B AIS Transponder and GPS Receiver displays and transmits own and other vessel's position, speed, course and vessel-specific data.
What is an AIS Transponder
While your own vessel's static and dynamic information is being relayed, an AIS transponder on your boat automatically receives information broadcast by other AIS-equipped vessels and base stations. AIS signals may be able to reach places where radar cannot, revealing AIS-equipped vessels that would otherwise be hidden, such as on the other side of an island or behind a larger vessel. Commercial vessels are already required by SOLAS to have a Class A AIS transponder, so large vessels nearby will be aware of your whereabouts. The MA-500TR improves your maritime safety.
Class B AIS Transponder
The Icom MA-500TR Class B AIS Transponder and GPS Receiver is a non-SOLAS Class B AIS transponder for pleasure yachts, workboats, and small vessels. Your vessel's data will be relayed automatically at predetermined intervals or under base station direction. The MA-500TR collects information from both Class A and Class B AIS channels (Ch. 87B and Ch. 88B) at the same time. Transmitted information by MA-500TR is:
- MMSI code
- Vessel name
- Call sign
- Type of ship
- GPS antenna position
- Ship's position
- SOG (Speed over ground)
- COG (Course over ground)
- UTC date and time
- GPS antenna type
