Oceantalk's new AIS-700 system has recently been released at only AU$979 (US$840) including GPS antenna, VHF antenna and mount, data interface cabling, PC i/o cables and programming software.
AIS (Auto Identification System) has become the fastest growing product area in the marine electronic sector. Starting with mandatory Class A for vessels over 300 tonnes, the technology has proceeded quickly into the smaller boat, light commercial and leisure markets with the advent of Class B systems.
The AIS-700 is compatible with all GPS Chartplotters and computer navigation systems and the included PC program also contains a simple Radar Target type viewing display as well as an information spreadsheet of AIS target vessels that can be ranked in certain orders of importance.
Users can see all marine traffic within their VHF transmission range and with a Class B transponder can broadcast their own details to other vessels. It allows operators to obtain individual vessel details and radio call signs, determine courses and speeds and information relating to collision warnings, times of approach and closest points of contact.
