1、Product Overview
HS-MX6208GT is the newest marine AIS transceiver system product that integrates SOTDMA and CSTDMA(Automatic Identification System)technology to meet the market demands of next-generation ships and shore-based communication networks,providing important and effective navigation assistance and communication method for ship pilots and shore-based management.
The system product allows the ship or shore-based system to receive AIS data of other ships, base stations or navigation beacons in its vicinity, and can receive AIS data information including the ship name, course, velocity and current navigation status of ships in the area which covered by the equipment.
HS-MX6208GT supports excellent performance, ultra-low power consumption and compact size. It can be used in the shipborne black boxes and onshore compact base stations to support AIS data management and services, smart boat/marine IOT and other smart maritime application requirements.
2、Main Features
- Support AIS Class B with 2W CSTDMA and 5W SOTDMA.
- Can extend to support AIS AtoN and Virtual AtoN.
- Integrated on-board GNSS positioning module.
- Provide multiple interfaces including NMEA2000, NMEA0183, GNSS, VHF and Power.
- Can upgrade the software via the NMEA0183 port and control the device,
- Automatically receive AIS information from other vessels, VTS shore stations,AtoN and other equipment. Also, position, heading, velocity and other information can be analyzed,and exchange to the standard format of AIS message.
- Support data collection and transmission functions.
- Can sent data to the multi-functional display and other shipborne equipments,realize the ship-to-ship interconnection and ship-to-shore interconnection.
- Support data collection and transmission functions
- Meet IEC62287, ITU-RM 1371 standards
- Compact size (130mm x 64mm x 50.6mm)
