The Raymarine AIS700 is a Class B Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceiver designed to enhance maritime safety by enabling vessels to transmit and receive critical navigation information. This device is particularly suited for integration with Raymarine multifunction navigation display systems, providing comprehensive situational awareness.
- Full AIS Transmission and Reception: Allows vessels to both receive broadcasts from other ships and transmit their own information, enhancing visibility and safety on the water.
- Advanced SO-TDMA Technology: Utilizes the latest Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SO-TDMA) networking, offering longer range and faster performance compared to previous AIS technologies.
- Integrated Antenna Splitter: Features a built-in VHF antenna splitter, simplifying installation by allowing the use of a single antenna for both VHF radio and AIS functions.
- Multiple Compatibility Options: Supports NMEA2000, NMEA0183, PC interfaces, and SeaTalkng, ensuring seamless integration with various onboard electronics.
- Silent Mode Functionality: Provides both software and hardware switchable Silent Mode, enabling temporary cessation of vessel data transmission while continuing to receive information from surrounding traffic. This feature is particularly useful in sensitive situations or competitive scenarios.
