AISnode is the first NMEA2000 AIS receiver designed specifically for this purpose. With a single, built-in 0.75m NMEA2000 cable that is powered by the mains and outputs AIS data to the network, AISnode is incredibly easy to install. Simply find or fit a spare NMEA2000 “T” connector, screw the AISnode cable into the connection, connect a VHF antenna and you’re set.
KEY FEATURES
NMEA2000 is becoming increasingly popular on new boats and almost all new chartplotters feature a NMEA2000 interface, while some models only provide a NMEA2000 interface. Therefore, with its reliability, easy plug and play connectivity and compatibility with industry standards, it is no surprise that NMEA2000 is gradually replacing the older NMEA0183 standard. AISNode is an AIS receiver with NMEA 2000.
The AIT2000 and AIT5000 Class B transponders already provide NMEA2000 connectivity. However, not all customers want the additional cost of purchasing and installing a transponder and for small chartplotters, an AIS receiver is still a popular choice.
AISnode is the first AIS receiver with NMEA2000, designed exclusively for this purpose. With a single, built-in 0.75m NMEA2000 cable that is powered by the mains and outputs AIS data to the mains, AISnode is incredibly easy to install. Simply find or fit a spare NMEA2000 “T” connector, screw the AISnode cable into the connection, connect a VHF antenna and you’re done.
AISnode uses the same high-performance, true dual-channel receiver found in the latest Class B transponders. As a result, it will pick up any AIS-equipped vessel within VHF range and will never miss or miss a target. All the latest AIS NMEA2000 message types are supported. This includes AIS SART, AtoN and Class B static data. This ensures full compatibility with all the latest AIS-enabled chartplotters.
Simply connect AISnode to a dedicated VHF/AIS antenna mounted on the transom rail. Or alternatively connect it to the main VHF antenna via a suitable splitter. The AISnode will then receive all AIS targets within range – typically up to 30nm (as far as the antenna/installation allows).
