Navico NAIS-500 Class B AIS system

The latest generation fully integrated Class B AIS transponder. AIS is an essential navigation aid in today's busy shipping lanes and congested ports. Compact and lightweight, fully waterproof. Low power consumption and multiple connection ports. The NAIS-500 is compatible with all Navico Group (Simrad, Lowrance and B&G) AIS-enabled multifunction displays, as well as all other brands of AIS-enabled devices with NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 or USB (computer) connectivity.

See ships moving around you

Helps you see and be seen at sea, a great help in today's congested ports and shipping lanes. AIS centrally monitors all vessels in sight and helps reduce the risk of collision by exchanging safety information between vessels.

As well as a variety of information about ships moving around

The NAIS-500 utilizes an advanced automatic digital time division transmission method, which enables the device to transmit and receive static information such as MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identifier), vessel name, call sign and vessel type. It can also transmit and receive dynamic information such as position, course and distance. The data is exchanged between vessels or between vessels and shore stations. When connected to a compatible chartplotter, the device displays the position and movements of all vessels within range and transmitting AIS data.

Versatile connections

The NAIS-500 is a Class-B AIS system that offers multiple connectivity options (NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, USB and NMEA 0183 multiplexing). In addition to the versatile connectivity options, the NSPL-500 antenna splitter is available, which, when combined with the NAIS-500, allows the use of just one VHF antenna for VHF, AIS and FM radio receivers. This solution reduces the number of antennas and thus installation problems, as well as saving money.
