Simrad V3100 Class B AIS
Broadcasting high-priority position reports across congested coastal fairways, the Simrad V3100 AIS transponder delivers 5W SOTDMA power with an included external GPS antenna, drawing 3.0W max over NMEA 2000 inside an IPX7 casing at 1.0 lb.
- 5W SOTDMA output increases reporting frequency
- External GPS antenna ensures rapid lock
- NMEA 2000 port connects navigation plotters
- IPX7 submersible enclosure protects internal circuitry
Upgrade AIS visibility and reporting capability on a compatible Simrad, Lowrance, or B&G navigation network with the Simrad V3100 Class B+ AIS Transceiver. Its 5W SOTDMA transmitter, external GNSS antenna, and NMEA 2000/NMEA 0183/USB connections provide a higher-output AIS option for cruisers, sailboats, and offshore boats that need their position shared with nearby AIS-equipped traffic. Need Class B+ AIS without a built-in display? The V3100 uses status LEDs, supports 12V/24V power, and fits into a compact protected interior installation.
Integration
The V3100 needs a suitable AIS/VHF antenna or approved splitter, an installed GNSS antenna with clear sky view, correct MMSI/static vessel-data programming, and a compatible MFD, chartplotter, or computer. It is not a VHF voice radio, radar, chartplotter, emergency beacon, or collision-avoidance guarantee.
Class B+ SOTDMA AIS can offer higher transmit output and more structured time-slot access than 2W CSTDMA Class B equipment. Actual AIS reception and transmission depend on antenna quality, VHF conditions, correct programming, and local coverage. AIS does not show every boat, buoy, floating object, or hazard.
Before Ordering
Confirm Class B+ AIS suitability, MMSI registration, antenna or splitter requirements, GPS antenna location, Simrad/Lowrance/B&G display compatibility, NMEA/USB needs, 12V/24V power, and protected mounting space before ordering.
