Alltek Marine – the AIS Specialists - Producs - AIS Class B

AIS is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio broadcasting system that transfers packets of data over the VHF data link and enables AIS equipped vessels and shore-based stations to send and receive identification information that can be displayed on an electronic chart, computer display, or compatible radar. This information can help in situational awareness and provide a means to assist in collision avoidance. In addition, AIS can serve as a navigation aid by providing location and additional information about buoys and lights.

Class B provides relatively limited functionality and is intended for non-SOLAS vessels. It is not mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and has been developed for vessels such as work craft and pleasure boats.

AMEC CAMINO-101 has most of the functions as CAMINO-201 except the display. NEMA 0183 linkage to other maritime equipments enables mariners with integrated navigations and safety information on a single display. In addition to RS-232, the optional innovative Bluetooth wireless network saves users from cabling troubles and provides better mobility. The AMEC professional viewer program in standard package offers boaters with full surrounding awareness and better operation flexibility. On the other hand, AMEC is also capable of delivering a full range of tailor-made services to government authorities, or any parties with unique requests.
