The SI-TEX MDA-6 is a 5-watt SOTDMA Class B/SO AIS transceiver that transmits at more than twice the power of standard Class B units, putting your vessel on the radar of surrounding traffic earlier and at greater distances. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and an NK2 isolated USB interface give you flexible connectivity across a wide range of chart plotters, tablets, and onboard systems. An IP67-rated enclosure handles water, dust, and vibration, and the included external GPS antenna completes the installation package.
