The Nauticast-B transponder is a plug and play AIS solution. Enjoy the
benefits of the AIS system knowing larger commercial vessels are aware of
your position increasing your personal safety while navigating at sea.

Unlike receivers only AIS devices which do not transmit vessel information to surrounding traffic, the Nauticast-B system allows you to virtually
participate in neighboring vessels maneuvering activities for collision
avoidance.

Announce your identity, position, speed and course over ground to oncoming
traffic allows for increased security that you will be seen in low
visibility conditions.

Avoid not being seen because of extreme weather conditions or busy vessel
traffic environments. Generate a safety distress message to surrounding AIS
equipment, including vessels, base-stations, and possibly SAR teams. All in
all, it is a horizon expanding experience; especially in combination with an
electronic chart system.
