Digital Yacht AIT1500 NMEA2000 Class B AIS

The Digital Yacht AIT1500 NMEA2000 Class B AIS transceiver is purpose-built for recreational boaters and commercial operators who demand real-time vessel tracking and collision avoidance at sea. This Class B AIS system broadcasts your vessel's position, course, and speed to nearby traffic while simultaneously receiving and displaying data from other equipped vessels on compatible marine chartplotters. Whether you're cruising coastal waters, navigating busy shipping lanes, or crossing open ocean, AIS has become the modern standard for maritime situational awareness.

The AIT1500 operates on international AIS frequencies (161.975 and 162.025 MHz) and integrates seamlessly into any NMEA 2000 network, eliminating the need for separate power and data cables to your chartplotter or multifunction display. Its Class B transmission format is fully compliant with IMO standards, offering sufficient range for coastal and offshore operations while consuming minimal power—critical for vessels relying on battery reserves. The compact form factor (7 x 4 x 10 inches, weighing just 1.2 lbs) makes installation straightforward on everything from sailboats to center consoles.

This transceiver is ideal for cruising sailors, fishing captains, and any boat operator integrating it into their NMEA 2000 network. Its reliable performance ensures that users can maintain awareness of their surroundings and enhance safety on the water. The AIT1500 is compatible with all NMEA 2000 multifunction displays, making it a versatile choice for various marine applications.
