Add another layer of safety to your nav system with MillTech's affordable line of AIS equipment.
The Smart Radio SR161 AIS Receiver is a compact, easy to install, stand alone marine receiver that monitors the channels assigned to the Automatic Identification System or AIS. This radio receiver is specially built for recreational marine environments for the intended use of deciphering Automatic Identification System data. The AIS system uses two VHF channels for broadcasting ship information. The SR161 can receive one channel at a time but is designed to scan both AIS channels and automatically use the channel with the best signal.
The SR161 is designed to be used with computer-based navigation solutions using a standard RS232 serial port interface.
The Smart Radio SR162 AIS Receiver is similar to the SR161 AIS Receiver but this unit is designed for professional environments that require full time monitoring of both AIS channels.
The SR162 is a dual channel receiver and is able to receive AIS information on the two approved AIS channels simultaneously.
The new AIS 100 unit is a very cool little device and the price is right. This $329.99 single-channel receive only unit now displays AIS targets in the award winning Visual Navigation Software!
With AIS integrated into a PC with Nobeltec Admiral, mariners can make safer and more prudent navigation decisions in less time.
AIS may be the greatest advance in marine navigation safety since the invention of radar. Imagine looking at your radar and a “blip” or “target” pops up. Depending on your navigation situation, a number of questions may start to run through your mind. Now, imagine having all of those questions answered and much more before your radar showed that “blip”. Would you feel a little more confident and secure on the water? That technology is here and it is called the Automatic Identification System (AIS).
