Furuno AIS Class A IMO-C
Furuno Furuno AIS Class A IMO-C is identified in the source list as a GMDSS ais transponder. It is normally installed on the bridge, radio station or designated communications area with the antennas, power supplies and backup arrangements required for the vessel's GMDSS installation. Its purpose is to support maritime distress, safety and operational communications using the communications service indicated by the equipment category. The existing database record provides no additional model-specific operating figure beyond the listed designation and category. The exact frequency coverage, satellite service, DSC capability, antenna arrangement and regulatory approval depend on the installed model. The exact model designation identifies communication service, interfaces and approved functions; these must be confirmed from the radio survey records and manufacturer documentation.
