em-trak B952 Class B AIS Transceiver – 5W SOTDMA – WiFi & Bluetooth
Securing high-frequency position reports in crowded fairways, this em-trak B952 SOTDMA transceiver broadcasts 5W SOTDMA telemetry via an internal GPS/GLONASS receiver, distributing vessel coordinates over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NMEA 2000 at 0.93 lbs.
- 5W SOTDMA protocol delivers priority broadcasts
- Internal GPS/GLONASS engine ensures satellite lock
- Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connect navigation apps
- IP67 waterproof casing survives wave washdowns
Increase Class B AIS transmission capability while keeping mobile-device access available with the em-trak B952. Its 5W SOTDMA transmitter, dual-channel AIS reception, internal GPS/GLONASS receiver, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity make it well suited to cruisers, sailboats, and workboats that want AIS targets on both installed navigation displays and portable devices. Need higher-output Class B AIS but already have a separate AIS antenna or splitter? The B952 supports NMEA 2000, dual NMEA 0183 ports, USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth in a compact IP67 enclosure.
Integration
The B952 needs a suitable AIS/VHF antenna or approved external splitter, valid MMSI/static vessel-data programming, and a compatible MFD, chartplotter, computer, or mobile app to display AIS targets. It is not a VHF voice radio, radar, chartplotter, EPIRB, or collision-avoidance system.
Class B SOTDMA provides 5W transmission and more structured access to AIS reporting slots than standard 2W CSTDMA Class B units. AIS reception and transmission still depend on antenna quality, VHF coverage, correct GNSS operation, proper programming, and other vessels broadcasting valid data.
Before Ordering
Confirm Class B SOTDMA suitability, MMSI registration, dedicated AIS antenna or external splitter needs, compatible MFD/mobile-device integration, GPS antenna requirements, NMEA/USB/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth configuration, 12V/24V power capacity, and protected mounting space before ordering.
