GARMIN AIS™ 800 BLACKBOX: SOTDMA Class B Transceiver
The Garmin AIS™ 800 Blackbox is a compact, easy-to-install transceiver designed to enhance **situational awareness and collision avoidance** on the water. Utilizing **Class B/SO (SOTDMA) technology**, this unit transmits your vessel’s information to other AIS receivers in your area with a robust **5 watts of transmit power**, enabling faster position reporting than ever before (especially above 14 knots). It receives AIS data from other vessels, displaying their information directly on your compatible Garmin Chartplotter.[1]
SUPERIOR AIS PERFORMANCE & INTEGRATION
The AIS 800 simplifies installation and ensures maximum reliability for collision avoidance on the Garmin Marine Network.
KEY SAFETY & NETWORKING FEATURES
- SOTDMA Class B: Provides higher performance and faster reporting rates than standard Class B AIS, ensuring superior tracking and visibility.
- Built-in Splitter: Features an internal VHF antenna splitter, allowing both your VHF radio and the AIS transceiver to **share a single VHF antenna**, simplifying installation and saving hardware costs.
- NMEA 2000® Connectivity: Seamlessly integrates via NMEA 2000/0183 with compatible Chartplotters and MFDs for displaying AIS targets and GPS data.
- Integrated GPS: Includes a built-in GPS receiver (with connector for optional external antenna), providing necessary position data for accurate AIS transmission.
POWER AND DURABILITY
The AIS 800 is housed in a compact black box unit with a small footprint, built to withstand harsh marine environments.
- **5-Watt Transmit Power:** Provides reliable signal broadcasting of your vessel's information.
- **Rugged Construction:** IPX7 waterproof rating and robust operating temperature range ensure durability.
Inverell Boating Centre Expert Note:
The Garmin AIS™ 800 is an essential upgrade for collision avoidance, utilizing the superior SOTDMA Class B standard. The built-in splitter is a key feature, allowing for simpler installation by eliminating the need for a second VHF antenna. It connects via NMEA 2000 for seamless MFD integration.
