AIS Safety & Navigation Benefits
Enhanced Collision Avoidance
Receive real-time position, course, speed, and vessel identification data from commercial ships, fishing vessels, and other AIS-equipped boats. This information appears on your chartplotter or radar display, providing critical awareness for collision avoidance.
Increased Visibility
Transmit your vessel's position, course, speed, and identification to other boats and commercial traffic. This makes your boat visible to large ships that might otherwise not see you on radar, significantly improving safety in shipping lanes and congested waters.
Search and Rescue Enhancement
In emergency situations, your transmitted AIS data helps coast guard and rescue vessels locate you quickly and accurately, potentially saving critical time during rescue operations.
Weather and Traffic Monitoring
Monitor vessel traffic patterns to avoid congested areas, identify commercial fishing operations, and track weather-related vessel movements for better route planning.
Advanced AIS700 Features
SO-TDMA Technology
The latest Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access technology provides superior performance compared to previous generation AIS systems. Enjoy longer range communication, faster data updates, and better performance in high-traffic areas.
Built-in Antenna Splitter
Eliminates the need for a separate VHF antenna installation. The integrated splitter allows your existing VHF antenna to serve both your radio and AIS system, simplifying installation and reducing costs.
Switchable Silent Mode
Hardware and software-controlled silent mode allows you to receive AIS data while temporarily stopping your own transmissions. Useful for security in remote areas, fishing tournaments, or situations requiring stealth operation.
Universal MFD Compatibility
Works with any multifunction display system supporting AIS data. NMEA2000, NMEA0183, and USB interfaces ensure compatibility with Raymarine, Garmin, Furuno, Lowrance, and other marine electronics brands.
Marine Applications
- Recreational Cruising: Enhanced safety for coastal and offshore cruising
- Commercial Fishing: Fleet management and collision avoidance in busy fishing areas

This programming ensures your vessel's unique identification is properly configured for safe and legal AIS operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Class A and Class B AIS?
Class A AIS is required for commercial vessels over 300 gross tons and transmits every 2-10 seconds. Class B AIS is designed for recreational and smaller commercial vessels, transmitting every 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on speed. Class B provides excellent safety benefits for recreational boaters.
Do I need a separate VHF antenna for AIS?
No, the AIS700 includes a built-in antenna splitter that allows it to share your existing VHF antenna with your VHF radio. This eliminates the need for additional antenna installation and reduces system complexity.
Can I use this with non-Raymarine equipment?
Yes, the AIS700 is designed for universal compatibility. It works with any multifunction display or chartplotter that supports AIS data through NMEA2000, NMEA0183, or USB connections, including Garmin, Furuno, Lowrance, and other brands.
What information does AIS transmit about my boat?
Class B AIS transmits your vessel's position, course, speed, rate of turn, vessel name, MMSI number, vessel type and dimensions, and navigation status. This information helps other vessels identify and avoid collision with your boat.
How does Silent Mode work?
Silent Mode stops your AIS transmissions while continuing to receive data from other vessels. This can be activated through your MFD software or with an optional hardware switch. It's useful for security in remote areas or competitive situations while maintaining situational awareness.
What is the range of AIS communication?
AIS range is line-of-sight, typically 20-30 nautical miles depending on antenna height, weather conditions, and terrain. The AIS700's SO-TDMA technology provides enhanced range compared to older AIS systems, improving detection of distant vessels.
The AIS700 from Raymarine is a Class B Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceiver designed for use with any multifunction navigation display systems. As a Class B AIS transceiver, the AIS700 not only receives broadcasts from other vessels, it also transmits your own boat’s information too helping you to be seen on other vessels’ systems.

AIS700 Class B AIS Transceiver with Antenna Splitter
**As the FCC requires all units sold in the US to be programmed by a qualified technician. Please submit the form below for programming at time of purchase. A copy of the MMSI registration or FCC Ship Station License is required along with the vessel master or owner's signature on the completed programming form.**
The AIS700 from Raymarine is a Class B Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceiver designed for use with Raymarine multifunction navigation display systems. AIS is an international marine navigation safety system that allows participating vessels to silently exchange key navigation information including vessel name, identification, course, speed and more. AIS contacts can be displayed on Raymarine multifunction displays, chartplotters, radar displays and select instruments. As a Class B AIS transceiver, the AIS700 not only receives broadcasts from other vessels, it also transmits your own boat’s information too helping you to be seen on other vessels’ systems.
The AIS700 is engineered using the very latest SO-TDMA (Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access) networking technology which allows it to perform faster and at longer ranges than d speed over previous generation AIS products. For ease-of-installation, the AIS700 has a built in VHF-band antenna splitter which allows it to share a single antenna with your current VHF radio. AIS700 also has its own internal, dedicated 72-channel GPS receiver with external antenna as required by international standards.
AIS700 also supports both hardware and software-enabled Silent Mode. This allows you to temporarily restrict broadcasting your vessels own data, while continuing to receive updates from surrounding traffic. Silent Mode can be particularly useful when transiting waters where extra security is a concern, or even in competitive tournament scenarios when you might want to prevent other from finding out the location of the hot bite. Normal AIS safety broadcasts can be easily reinstated with a few simple touches of the AIS controls in your Raymarine MFD, or with the flip of a switch for hardware-silenced systems.
The AIS700 is super-compact for easy mounting inside your helm, in a service locker, or other out-of-the-way location. It can connect to your other onboard electronics using the latest NMEA2000 networking. AIS700 also has a built-in NMEA0183 multiplexer to assist in connecting it to older MFD’s and VHF radio systems. AIS700 also has a built-in USB 2.0 connection that can be used to tie the transceiver into a computer or laptop running AIS compatible navigation software. AIS700 has a Secure Digital (SD) memory slot that can be fitted with an owner-suppled flash memory card for continuous recording of the AIS data stream.

The fully transmitting AIS Raymarine AIS700 Class B AIS transceiver with a built-in antenna splitter is a complete transmitting and receiving device, and has a variety of connection options. AIS 700 can be connected to NMEA 2000 compliant MFD, old MFD with NMEA 0183 connection, PC connected via built-in USB, and devices connected to Raymarine MFD via SeaTalk NG network. Such a wide range of interconnection capabilities allows each end user to find the best connection without feeling limited in the way of sharing and viewing data. Exchange data with other ship users, including ship name, course, speed, etc. AIS contacts can be quickly shared and displayed on Raymarine MFD, radar and other selected instruments. With AIS700, you can transmit your own ship data or receive data from other ships nearby, so you can understand the surrounding environment. The "silent mode" with hardware and software enabled allows you to temporarily restrict the broadcast of ship data while still receiving other ship data, which is essential for race settings or to improve safety. Raymarine has manufactured this compact device that can be easily installed in almost any position on the ship, so that it takes up minimal space inside the helmet or behind the console. The built-in VHF band antenna splitter allows you to share a single antenna with current VHF radios for seamless installation. AIS700 is designed with the latest network technology. Compared with the previous models on the market, it can run at a longer distance and at a faster speed. For the latest transceiver technology, Raymarine AIS 700 Class B AIS is the ultimate solution. The included GPS antenna must be used to obtain proper performance.
