It displays the position of other AIS transmitting vessels
within VHF range and allows other vessels and shore based
stations to see you - even at night or in poor visibility.
With safety in mind it is very easy to initiate calls to target
vessels via a networked DSC VHF Radio.
The AI50 can be flush mounted or bracket mounted and
be located at any convenient position such as the helm
pod or at the navigation table.
The AI50 uses a sophisticated automatic digital time sharing
technology which enable the exchange of static information
like; MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identifier) Number,
Vessel’s Name, Call Sign and Type. Also dynamic data like;
Position, Course, Distance and more, from ship to ship,
and from ship to shore based traffic stations.
