Value-priced solution: Adds AIS capability without compromise on performance; the AIS100 is Digital Yacht’s most cost-effective way to add AIS.
-
Performance note: The AIS100 provides the same dual-channel receiver as the AIS100Pro but without the USB interface and multiplexer.

Reception range guidance: Range note: Typical AIS reception range is 20 — 20 m for a mast top antenna. For best results, place the antenna where it has a clear view of the horizon.
By feeding AIS data directly into your existing chartplotter, you gain real-time visibility of nearby vessels, their courses, speeds, and identities, enhancing situational awareness and navigation decisions. The unit’s broad compatibility means you can upgrade without a full-system overhaul, while the rugged IP54 enclosure and straightforward antenna setup simplify installation on any vessel.
