Enhanced performance as AIS class B+
The B600S Class B AIS incorporates the same SOTDMA technology found in Class A solutions. This self-organizing transmission technology allows the system to negotiate a regular transmission timeslot with other AIS units in range, facilitating more frequent and reliable position updates in high-traffic areas. The B600S transmits updates, based on vessel speed, up to once every five seconds; this provides up to six times the reporting frequency of standard 2W Class B AIS.
Advanced antenna splitter integrated
B600S’ built-in antenna splitter enables easy installation by sharing a single VHF antenna for both AIS and VHF radio. The high-performance splitter module features very low loss on transmission path and zero insertion loss on reception path for maximum range of your AIS. Its transparent mode guarantees priority to VHF radio operation even if the transponder is out of function. It has self-test function to alert users with dedicated LED to possible antenna issues.
Multiplexing intelligence
B600S understands and translates a wide range of NMEA 2000 PGNs such as heading, speed, wind, depth, temperature etc and send them over USB and NMEA 0183. With the smart multiplexing function, instrument data along with AIS and GPS information can be displayed on navigation apps and PC programs.
Robustness for rough sea
B600S features enhanced housing with IPx7 waterproof and marine grade locking connectors. Its shock and temperature robustness are ideal to survive harsh marine environments.

microSD for datalogging and firmware upgrade
The transceiver has a waterproof slot to accommodate microSD card which can be used to record your voyage data or load a firmware file for firmware upgrade.

Powerful 72-channel GNSS receiver embedded
The AIS transceiver is equipped with 72-channel high speed GNSS receiver. It supports GPS and Galileo by default and optional BeiDou and GLONASS.
