<p><strong>iAISTX Class B Wireless Transponder</strong></p><p id="isPasted">**As the FCC requires all units sold in the US to be programmed by a qualified technician. Please submit the form below for programming at the time of purchase. A copy of the MMSI registration or FCC Ship Station License is required along with the vessel master or owner's signature on the completed programming form.**</p><p><a href="https://productimageserver.com/banners/ClassB.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here to download form.</a></p><p>iAISTX has been designed specifically for the growing number of boaters who use an iPad or Android tablet for their navigation tasks. As a full function Class B transponder, it sends your boat position and identity data to other AIS equipped vessels as well as providing a wireless interface for mobile devices with popular apps to display received data from other AIS equipped vessels.</p><p>iAISTX creates a secure, password protected, local Wi-Fi network which allows AIS and GPS data to be sent to popular iOS and Android apps such as Navionics, iSailor, Weather4D, SailGrib, iNavX, TimeZero and more. These apps offer a detailed overlay of local AIS targets all updated in real-time. Depending upon the app, you can click on a target and can see identity as well as collision avoidance data such as CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to closest point of approach).</p><p>AIS transponders require one time programming with the boat’s identity and physical dimensions and this is done through a simple, embedded web interface via the tablet’s browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.).  This can also be used to silence the transmission and set up wireless parameters such as passwords.  Installation is simple – just connect power (12/24v), mount the supplied external GPS antenna and connect to a separate dedicated VHF antenna or to the boat’s existing VHF antenna using our SPL1500 or SPL2000 AIS-VHF antenna splitters.</p><p>If you also want to get AIS data on to your MFD (chart plotter), then we recommend the iAISTX Plus which includes an additional NMEA 2000 interface.</p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><ul><li>Class B AIS transponder with WiFi interface for phones, tablets, iPads and PCs</li><li>Support for all the latest target types such as ATONs and AIS MOB devices</li><li>Latest HF AIS technology for superior performance</li><li>UDP and TCP/IP protocols supported for up to 7 connected devices</li><li>Password protected, secure wireless connection</li><li>Internal wifi antenna will typically footprint a boat up to 60ft in length</li><li>Supplied with external GPS antenna and 10m (33ft) cable which can be deck mounted or fitted to standard 1” mount</li><li>Compatible with 100s apps.  See our reviews at www.digitalyacht.net</li><li>LED status indicators for wireless connection, data, status, time out, power and silent mode</li><li>Easy embedded web interface for programming</li><li>Measures just 20 x 14 x 4.5cm</li><li>12/24V operation and ultra-low 2W consumption</li></ul> <!--- cis2:m2lumJ1t --->
