SKU Part Number： AMEC-B600-010

Overview

WideLink B600 is the world’s first certified to IEC 62287-1 Ed.2.0: 2017, the latest SOTDMA class B standard. It excels further at its versatile integration options and weather resistance housing design.

 

 

 

Superior Performance Guaranteed

B600 series´ 5W transmission power enables bigger transmission range than the conventional 2W AIS class B. Its higher reporting rate and professional grade time division management make B600 an overall more advanced product compared to AIS CSTDMA class B.

 

 

 

 

Interconnection Intelligence

The B600 converts NMEA 2000 instrument data into NMEA 0183 sentences, such as heading, speed, depth, temperature, wind, pressure and so on. With the multiplexing function, sensor data along with AIS and GPS information can be displayed on chart plotter and PC.

 

 

 

 

Built for Harsh Marine Environment ; Micro SD Card Support

Designed for marine environment: IPx7 waterproof and shock and temperature robustness. Micro SD card for easy datalogging and firmware upgrade.
