EchoPilot AIS (Automatic Identification System)

 

AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a new international safety standard that will aid collision avoidance for all sizes of vessel.

With EchoPilot AIS commercial vessels will show up, not just on the radar, but also on the chart plotter or PC running navigational software. The EchoPilot AIS is a black box to plug into (AIS) enabled chart plotters which will then allow them to display vessels outputting an AIS signal.

Advantages of EchoPilot AIS –

  • 2 Channel receiver
  • Very low power consumption
  • Improved drivers and matching allows cable lengths of up to 15 metres between the EasyAIS and chart plotter –without data loss.
  • NMEA compatible
  • GPS data both accepted and output
  • A quality product representing value for money
  • Compact in size and housed in a robust metal case

OTHER SOUNDERS ARE HISTORY! Most vertical depth sounders show a depth which is an average of what is behind the boat. At EchoPilot we believed that most boat owners would prefer to see hazardous obstructions in front of them!!
