Digital Yacht iAISTX Class B Wireless Transponder

Digital Yacht are leaders in innovation in the supply of marine PC systems for both sail and power, from 30ft up to superyacht. The range of compact computers are compatible with the latest PC software and the flexible architecture means they can be easily configured to suit your exact needs. For larger applications Digital Yacht offers a range of 42in rack-mounted systems that can be custom built to run even the most complex systems.

There are a growing number of boaters that use an iPad or Android tablet for their navigation tasks and thus the iAISTX was designed specifically for their needs.

As a full function Class B AIS transponder with WiFi, it sends your boat position and identity data to other AIS equipped vessels. It also provides a wireless interface for mobile devices. This allows popular apps to display received data from other AIS equipped vessels. iAISTX creates a secure, password protected, local Wi-Fi network which allows AIS and GPS data to be sent to popular iOS and Android apps such as Navionics, iSailor, Weather4D, SailGrib, iNavX, TimeZero and more.

These apps offer a detailed overlay of local AIS targets all updated in real-time. Depending upon the app, you can click on a target and can see identity as well as collision avoidance data. This includes CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to closest point of approach). The tablet’s browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.) provides a simple, embedded web interface for one time programming of the boat’s identity and physical dimensions, required of all AIS transponders.

Silencing the transmission and setting up wireless parameters such as passwords can also be done via this web interface. Installation is simple – just connect power (12/24v), mount the supplied external GPS antenna and connect to a separate dedicated VHF antenna or to the boat’s existing VHF antenna using our SPL1500 or SPL2000 AIS-VHF antenna splitters. If you also want to get AIS data on to your MFD (chart plotter), then we recommend the iAISTX Plus which includes an additional NMEA 2000 interface.

• Small and lightweight.
• Compatible with all major navigation apps.
• Low power consumption.

• Designed for the iPad and Android tablets.
• Class B transponder with all the features of a standard Class A transponder.
• No need to purchase expensive additional equipment.
