ComNav Voyager X5 Class A AIS Tranceiver

The ComNav Voyager X5 Class A AIS Transceiver is the professional-grade marine safety device every serious boater needs aboard. Whether you're running offshore for extended passages, navigating busy shipping lanes, or simply want the peace of mind that comes with being visible to commercial traffic, this Class A unit broadcasts your vessel's position, speed, course, and identification to all ships within VHF range. Class A certification means you're meeting international maritime regulations and leveraging the same technology trusted by commercial operators worldwide.

ComNav's Voyager X5 combines dual-channel VHF reception with high-power 12.5-watt transmission to ensure your vessel is spotted even in congested waterways or during adverse conditions. The transceiver decodes incoming AIS signals from nearby targets—fishing boats, tankers, tugs, and other vessels—displaying them on compatible chartplotters or dedicated AIS displays so you know what's moving around you in real time. The unit's compact 1-pound form factor makes installation straightforward on vessels of any size, while its sealed design withstands the salt-spray and thermal stress of extended ocean use.

Commercial operators, charter captains, and blue-water cruisers benefit most from Class A performance; Class B units lack the transmission power and reporting frequency required for heavy-traffic areas or international voyages. The ComNav Voyager X5 integrates seamlessly with modern marine electronics ecosystems via NMEA 0183 output, allowing real-time target data to feed directly into your autopilot, radar overlay, and navigation software. Installation requires a VHF antenna, 12/24-volt power, and basic wiring—most marine electricians complete the job in an afternoon, leaving you free to focus on what matters: staying safe and aware on the water.
