OperatingintheVHFmaritimeband,theAISsystem
enables the wireless exchange of navigation status
betweenvesselsandshore-sidetrafcmonitoring
centres.Commercialships,ocean-goingvesselsand
recreationalboatsequippedwithAIStransmitters
broadcast AIS messages that include the vessel’s
name, course, speed and current navigation status.
ais250 receiver module
The Raymarine AIS250 Receiver module is a ‘listen
only’dual-channelAISreceiverthateasilyintegrates
with Raymarine multifunction systems, allowing
AIS targets to be overlaid graphically in both the
chartplotter and radar modes.
Features
• Switcheddualchannel,multiplexedsystem–asingle
