The V3100 Class B AIS solution features SOTDMA technology and higher transmit power which increases transmission frequency, reliability and range compared to standard Class B AIS solutions. This "black box" type solution integrates with B&G displays and has an industry-leading level of connectivity.

Product details
More frequent and reliable transmission
The V3100 Class B AIS solution is equipped with the same SOTDMA technology as the Class A solutions. This self-organized transmission technology allows the system to negotiate a smooth transmission with other AIS units within range, for more frequent transmission and reliable location updates in heavy traffic areas. The V3100 solution is able to transmit updates once every 5 seconds based on vessel speed, up to six times faster than a standard Class B AIS solution.

Greater transmission range
The V3100 solution has a transmit power that can reach a maximum of 5 watts, for a transmission power 2.5 higher than that of a standard AIS class B solution. This transmit power allows V3100 system vessels to be detected on AIS at a greater range and provides more reliable transmission to AIS receivers via satellite.

Integrated "black box" solution
This "black box" AIS solution is designed for use with Simrad multifunction displays and other marine electronic devices connected via NMEA 2000® or NMEA 0183® standard. Outgoing connection with a standard PC is also supported via USB connectivity. The V3100 solution is housed in a compact, waterproof IP67-rated housing and features an SD card slot for standalone AIS data recording.
