Digital Yacht's AISnode is the first AIS Receiver designed exclusively for NMEA2000. AISnode is incredibly easy to install - a single, integral 0.75m NMEA2000 cable takes power from the network and outputs the AIS data on to the network. Just find or fit a spare NMEA2000 T Piece, screw the AISnode cable to the connection, connect a VHF antenna and the installation is complete.
AISnode utilises the same high performance, true dual channel receiver that Digital Yacht's latest Class B Transponders have. AISnode will receive every AIS equipped vessel within VHF range and never miss or drop a single target. All the latest NMEA2000 AIS message types are supported, including AIS SARTs, AtoNs and Class B static data, ensuring full compatibility with all the latest AIS enabled chartplotters.
Simply connect the AISnode to a dedicated VHF/AIS antenna mounted on the stern rail, or alternatively to the main VHF Antenna via a suitable splitter, and the AISnode will receive all AIS targets, typically within a range of 30 nautical miles.
