The Nauticast-B
transponder is a plug and play AIS
solution. Enjoy the benefits of the
AIS system knowing larger commercial
vessels are aware of your position
increasing your personal safety
while navigating at sea.
Unlike receive
only AIS devices which do not
transmit vessel information to
surrounding traffic, the Nauticast-B
system allows you to virtually
participate in neighboring vessels
maneuvering activities for collision
avoidance.
Announce your
identity, position, speed and course
over ground to oncoming traffic
allows for increased security that
you will be seen in low visibility
conditions.
Avoid not
being seen because of extreme
weather conditions or busy vessel
traffic environments. Generate a
safety distress message to
surrounding AIS equipment, including
vessels, base-stations, and possibly
SAR teams. All in all, it is a
horizon expanding experience;
especially in combination with an
electronic chart system.

Programming of boat data is

entering an incorrect MMSI or other
static data in a Class B AIS device
