AIS Receivers

Receive AIS information from commercial shipping and other AIS-equipped vessels.
AIS receivers pick up radio signals from Class A and Class B AIS transponders and translate them into NMEA data sentences to be read by computers or AIS-enabled chartplotters.

Receivers with an RS422 NMEA 0183 interface allow easy and compatible connection to NMEA standard chart plotters from Raymarine, Garmin, Furuno, Standard Horizon, Lowrance, Simrad and others. Our AIS receivers that support true NMEA RS422 signal output can be found here.

Look for an RS232 interface or USB for easy connection to a computer.
