Device Description

Digital Yacht has introduced a new range of Class B AIS transponders. Class B, a new standard, uses SOTDMA format transmissions that provide 5W power (2.5x more powerful than a normal Class B), a guaranteed time window for transmission in busy areas and faster update rates depending on vessel speed. It is ideal for offshore sailors who require the best possible performance and future-proof satellite tracking applications, fast powerboats and smaller, non-mandated commercial vessels. It will continue to work with existing Class B and Class A systems.

Regulations for the use of 5W SOTDMA Class B transponders normally require the mounting of a separate antenna. This ultra-compact Class B transponder has three outputs: NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 and USB port.

Using a USB interface, the AIT2500 can be programmed or used as a PC/Mac controlled navigation system and is compatible with both Digital Yacht's NavLink app and SmarterTrack PC software.

Installation is simple - just connect the power supply (12/24v), fit the supplied external GPS antenna and connect it to a separate dedicated VHF antenna or to the boat's existing VHF antenna using our SPL1500 or SPL2000 AIS-VHF antenna splitters. You can also network the AIT2500 to the NavLink Gateway to transmit data to your tablet or iPad.

Note on SOTDMA technology

Class B is a new generation of AIS functionality based on SOTDMA (self organized TMDA) messaging rather than the simpler CSTDMA (carrier sense TDMA). It guarantees that your AIS transmission will receive a time slot, even in very high traffic areas. It also specifies a 5W transmit power (compared to 2W for Class B) and a transmission rate that increases as the vessel speed increases. With normal Class B protocol, the transmission rate is fixed every 30 seconds as the vessel moves. It is ideal for ocean-going sailors, fast powerboats and smaller non-mandated commercial vessels that require the best possible performance and future-proof satellite tracking applications.
