Extended Description

The Simrad AI50 AIS transponder offers boat owners the most exciting new development in the safety of navigation. All large commercial vessels including ferries, cargo and passenger ships already carry AIS.

Now Simrad Yachting is introducing the first compact Class B AIS with a color display. Class B transponders used on commercial ships have many features not needed by recreational users making them expensive. The class B standard offers all the visibility and benefits of the class B without the complications. The result is that AIS is now affordable for all users. Mounted at the helm, the Simrad AI50 offers unsurpassed simplicity of operation and clarity of information. The Simrad AI50 shows information from other ships.

As a Class B AIS, the AI50 is cost effective and very easy to install, yet it has numerous safety benefits.

AIS v Radar
Due to bad conditions, radar blind spots and heavy traffic, it’s possible large merchant vessels can simply not see smaller recreational craft but by transmitting your own AIS data, all vessels have a far greater chance of knowing your exact whereabouts, therefore helping to avoid accidents.

The Simrad AI50 displays and transmits a wealth of information, including boat name and MMSI, type of boat, Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and time to CPA, course, speed, heading and rate of turn.

A daylight-viewable colour screen and straightforward interface with built-in maps allows simple operation. Range rings enable the setting of alarms to warn of impending danger.

Connected to the NMEA 2000®-based SimNet marine network, the Simrad AI50 becomes an integral part of any boat’s navigation and communication capabilities.
