Em-trak B200 AIS Class B 5W Transceiver for Ocean Sailing

The Em-trak B200 AIS Class B 5W Transceiver is engineered for dedicated ocean sailors, providing enhanced safety through its high transmit power and transmission priority, ensuring maximum range.

This advanced transceiver offers superior reliability and the best AIS performance in its class. It is fully water and weatherproof, with IPx6 and IPx7 certification, and is built to withstand shock and vibration. Extensively tested in extreme marine environments, the B200 promises years of maintenance-free operation. Its connectivity options include dual NMEA2000 & NMEA0183 ports, serial ports, USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth, making it easy to integrate with tablets, PCs, displays, and navigation devices.

The device includes an internal battery, ensuring continuous operation for up to 120 hours during a complete power loss. Silent mode can be activated via an integrated switch or through the em-trak CONNECT-AIS app on your mobile device, allowing you to continue receiving transmissions without sending them.
