Garmin AIS 800 Blackbox Transceiver
Routing 5W SOTDMA position reports to ActiveCaptain apps, the Garmin AIS 800 blackbox transceiver integrates a zero-loss VHF antenna splitter and internal GPS, distributing targets across NMEA 2000 inside an IPX7 submersible enclosure at 1.43 lbs.
- 5W SOTDMA transmission increases reporting frequency
- Built-in splitter shares single VHF antennas
- Integrated Wi-Fi connects ActiveCaptain mobile app
- IPX7 submersible housing prevents water damage
Integrate higher-power Class B AIS into a Garmin network with the Garmin AIS 800 Blackbox Transceiver. Its 5W SOTDMA transmission, integrated VHF antenna splitter, included external GPS antenna, and NMEA connections provide a compact solution for boats that need AIS targets on a compatible Garmin chartplotter while keeping the existing VHF antenna arrangement. Need AIS data in ActiveCaptain without adding another antenna? The AIS 800 supports NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Wi-Fi, and protected 12V/24V installation.
Integration
The AIS 800 requires a compatible Garmin chartplotter or other supported navigation display, a compatible VHF radio, a shared VHF antenna, and valid MMSI/static vessel-data programming. It is not a VHF voice radio, chartplotter, radar, emergency beacon, or collision-avoidance guarantee.
The antenna splitter can simplify a shared VHF/AIS setup, but wiring must follow Garmin instructions and use a compatible VHF antenna/radio configuration. AIS data depends on VHF coverage and other vessels transmitting correct information. ActiveCaptain connectivity depends on compatible Garmin equipment, app support, Wi-Fi setup, and mobile-device availability.
Before Ordering
Confirm compatible Garmin chartplotter support, VHF radio and shared-antenna compatibility, MMSI registration, included GPS antenna placement, NMEA interface requirements, ActiveCaptain/Wi-Fi needs, 12V/24V power capacity, and protected mounting space before ordering.
