Digital Yacht AIT2500 Class B+ 5W SOTDMA AIS w/GPS

The Digital Yacht AIT2500 Class B+ 5W SOTDMA AIS with GPS is a professional-grade automatic identification system designed for recreational and commercial vessels requiring reliable vessel tracking and collision avoidance. This Class B+ transceiver combines dual positioning technologies—integrated GPS and SOTDMA protocol—to broadcast your vessel's position, course, and speed to other equipped vessels and shore-based stations within reliable VHF radio range.

The 5-watt transmission power delivers solid coverage for offshore and inshore operations, meeting FCC Class B+ specifications for U.S. domestic waters. SOTDMA (Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access) technology ensures efficient time-slot management in congested shipping lanes and popular fishing grounds, reducing message collisions and improving overall network reliability. The integrated GPS receiver eliminates the need for separate positioning hardware, streamlining installation while providing precise latitude, longitude, and course-over-ground data essential for accurate AIS transmission and voyage record-keeping.

This system is built for fishing captains, yacht owners, and commercial operators who depend on AIS interoperability for safety and navigation efficiency. Whether transiting busy shipping channels, coordinating with fleet vessels, or ensuring visibility during offshore expeditions, the AIT2500 provides the monitoring capability and regulatory compliance expected in modern marine operations. Installation requires FCC programming by a qualified technician using your vessel's MMSI registration or FCC Ship Station License, a standard requirement for AIS units sold in the United States.
