Simrad AIS Class B SOTDMA-C

Simrad Simrad AIS Class B SOTDMA-C is a AIS transponder in the supplied category 'GMDSS / AIS Transponder'. It is normally installed on the bridge or in the radio/GMDSS console, with external antennas mounted where they have the required radio or satellite view. It is intended to transmit and receive vessel identity, position and voyage-related data for situational awareness. Compared with neighbouring entries in the same series, the supplied list identifies this unit by its model designation; the meaning of any embedded size or rating code should be confirmed in manufacturer documentation. In service it interfaces with ship power and reserve power, antennas, GNSS or navigation data where required, audio or operator units and the vessel's communication network. Model-specific limits, settings, dimensions and acceptance criteria that are not stated in the supplied data should be taken from the manufacturer documentation.
