Description

The SI-TEX MDA-5H Hi-Power 5W SOTDMA Class B AIS Transceiver with Built-In Antenna Splitter is an essential tool for enhancing vessel safety in commercial maritime operations, law enforcement marine units, and serious recreational boaters. This transceiver provides reliable automatic identification system (AIS) coverage, ensuring that users can effectively broadcast their vessel's position, heading, speed, and static data to other AIS-equipped vessels and shore stations.

Operating at 5 watts of transmit power, the SI-TEX MDA-5H utilizes SOTDMA technology to maximize data throughput in congested maritime environments. The built-in antenna splitter simplifies installation by allowing the transceiver to share an existing VHF antenna system, eliminating the need for additional hardware. This feature is particularly beneficial for vessels looking to streamline their communication systems without compromising performance.

With a typical range of 20–30 nautical miles, the SI-TEX MDA-5H meets international Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) Class B specifications, making it suitable for a wide range of maritime applications. Whether for commercial use or serious recreational boating, this transceiver enhances maritime domain awareness and supports effective collision avoidance and emergency response coordination.
