Product Overview
The CAMINO-108W is AMEC's second generation Class B AIS wireless transponder allowing you to broadcast your data to other AIS-equipped vessels and receive their data by viewing on a dedicated chart plotter or PC - the essential way to improve collision avoidance on the water. This model also supports output to devices such as iPads via Wi-Fi.
This new release adds a number of features for customers wanting to use the Wi-Fi functionality. You can now connect and stream data to as many as ten wireless devices from the CAMINO-108W. The CAMINO-108W can be configured to be in Access Point mode or Client mode. In Access Point mode, devices connect to the SSID network broadcast by the CAMINO-108W. In Client mode, the CAMINO-108W can join an existing Wi-Fi network on your boat. When in Access Point mode, the unit can be configured with your own IP address, port number, SSID and network password.
If you want to use the CAMINO-108W or B600W with the Navionics app on Apple iOS or Android, check out our blog article here. For instructions on using the CAMINO-108W or B600W with the iNavX app, see our blog article here.
CAMINO-108W is designed to deliver a high-performance AIS transponder solution. The optimized receive and transmit capability is now brought into a compact and robust housing which is less than half the size of its previous generation.
The dual-channel receivers enable AIS vessel monitoring of all AIS signals including Class A, Class B, AtoN, SART. Its NMEA2000, NMEA0183 and waterproof USB* port ensure simple integration with chart plotters and PCs. The built-in SD card slot makes data logging of AIS data easier than ever.
The CAMINO-108W now includes a portable "puck" GPS antenna. We also offer an external marine-grade GPS antenna if needed.
