Digital Yacht iAISTX Plus Class B Wireless & NMEA 2000 Transponder

The Digital Yacht iAISTX Plus Class B Wireless & NMEA 2000 Transponder is a full-function AIS transponder engineered for modern boaters who navigate with iPad or Android tablets. This dual-connectivity device transmits your vessel's position, identity, and voyage data to other AIS-equipped vessels while simultaneously receiving AIS signals from nearby traffic and coastal stations. The wireless interface allows popular maritime navigation apps to display real-time vessel traffic directly on your mobile device, creating a comprehensive situational awareness picture on the water.

The PLUS variant incorporates NMEA 2000 connectivity, enabling direct integration with existing marine instrument networks and chartplotters. This means the transponder can receive position data from your GPS, heading from your compass, and speed from your log without separate wiring—streamlining installation on vessels with established NMEA 2000 backbones. Class B performance meets international collision avoidance regulations, transmitting at sufficient power and update rates to be detected by commercial traffic and other equipped recreational vessels. The wireless component pairs with your tablet instantly, eliminating the need for dedicated display hardware or complex cabling through cabin overhead.

This system is built for cruising sailors, fishing boat captains, and weekend boaters who want reliable collision avoidance and vessel identification without cluttering the helm with additional instrumentation. Offshore anglers benefit from the automatic identification broadcast—other vessels know your position and can assist in emergencies. Cruising boats appreciate the tablet integration, which centralizes navigation, weather, and traffic on a single screen. Coastal and near-shore operators gain peace of mind through regulatory compliance and real-time awareness of commercial and recreational traffic patterns in busy shipping lanes and fishing grounds.
