Overview

The solid AIS class B you can rely on

The CAMINO-108 series represents our globally approved CSTDMA class B transceivers with the core of sophisticated software defined radio technology.

 

Real AIS Power for Your Safety

Its robust transmission and reception performance makes sure that you can see other vessels and be seen by them even in the busiest sea area. The unleashed AIS performance is packed in a compact housing to make CAMINO-108 series the smallest AIS Class B of the world for an easy and pleasant installation.

 

Dual GPS Backup

CAMINO-108 series works with GPS input from both NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 to back up your external GPS antenna. The “Dual GPS Backup” actively ensures the positioning and transmission of your AIS transponder.

 

Splitter Built-In

Enable easy installation by sharing a single VHF antenna for both AIS and VHF.

  • Very low loss on transmission path
  • Zero insertion loss on reception path
  • Transparent mode guarantees priority to VHF radio operation even if the splitter is turned off
  • Constant self-test function
