em-trak B954 Class B AIS Transceiver – 5W SOTDMA w/WiFi, Bluetooth, & VHF Antenna Splitter
Sharing masthead VHF antennas with 5W SOTDMA broadcasts, this em-trak B954 SOTDMA transceiver integrates an internal GPS/GLONASS engine with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, drawing 2.0W average inside an IP67 waterproof enclosure at 1.0 lb.
- 5W SOTDMA output extends transmission range
- Integrated antenna splitter shares VHF antennas
- Built-in Wi-Fi streams targets to tablets
- IP67 waterproof housing withstands harsh environments
Combine higher-power Class B AIS, wireless data sharing, and shared VHF-antenna capability with the em-trak B954. Its 5W SOTDMA transmitter, integrated VHF antenna splitter, GPS/GLONASS receiver, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth simplify installations that need AIS target information on an MFD as well as a tablet, phone, or computer. Need stronger Class B AIS output without adding a separate antenna? The B954 supports NMEA 2000, dual NMEA 0183 ports, USB, and mobile connectivity in a compact IP67-rated enclosure.
Integration
The B954 requires a compatible VHF radio, a suitable shared VHF antenna, valid MMSI/static vessel data, and an MFD, chartplotter, computer, or mobile app to view AIS targets. It is not a VHF voice radio, radar, chartplotter, EPIRB, or collision-avoidance guarantee.
The integrated splitter reduces the need for a separate AIS antenna, but all antenna, VHF radio, and AIS connections must follow the manufacturer wiring diagram. Class B SOTDMA offers higher output and more structured time-slot access than standard 2W CSTDMA equipment, but AIS performance still depends on VHF coverage and accurate data from other transmitters.
Before Ordering
Confirm Class B SOTDMA suitability, shared-antenna compatibility, VHF radio requirements, MMSI registration, GPS antenna needs, NMEA/USB/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth integration, 12V/24V power capacity, and protected mounting space before ordering.
