AMEC WideLink R150GE is an AIS receiver designed specifically for shore monitoring applications but it can also be used like a normal AIS Receiver for small commercial vessels, fishing vessels, yachts, and sailboats. Built on the superior performance of CYPHO-150, R150GE provides extensive functionality including integrated GPS receiver and comprehensive connection interfaces.

Employing two parallel AIS receivers, R150GE delivers superb receiving sensitivity to ensure maximum reception range of all AIS messages. R150GE is also fit to be deployed as receiving station on shore or remote locations and re-route AIS messages to the dedicated server or any designated IP address via the TCP/IP or UDP/IP.

The user can also use the R150GE just like a standard AIS receiver by connecting it to PC or chart plotter via USB, serial port (RS-232) or NMEA 0183, and access AIS data conveniently on any portable devices wirelessly over Wi-Fi. Moreover, when connected to a GPS antenna the receiver will output AIS data together with own vessel's speed, course, and location.

The unit is equipped with standard USB, RS-232, Wi-Fi, LAN, GPS and NMEA0183 interfaces.

Q: Has anyone used this device with an iPad? If so, does it work as it should? I have read that iNavX is currently the only nav app that will accept wifi input of AIS data. Are there any particular abnormalities in the setup process? Any information would be appreciated.

Asked by: Larry - 9/3/2017

A: Yes, the WiFi model works as it should with iPad, Android, PCs etc. via the WiFi interface. The setup is straight forward and a configuration program is included for customizing the various settings including the WiFi settings.
There are other iOS apps that work well with this model for the display of AIS / GPS data. These include SeaIQ, iSailor, TimeZero and others. See my chart here for more info: http://www.milltechmarine.com/A-Comparison-of-Marine-Navigation-Apps-for-iPad_b_23.html.
All of the apps that have a check by "AIS" and "Networked devices" will work with the WiFi model of the WideLink transponder.
