AIS 1.M MASTHEAD ANTENNA - P6005:
AIS is a marine tracking system used for identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with nearby
ships.
The AIS unit uses a standardised transceiver to broadcast the vessel's position and name as well as speed, course and
destination.
The frequencies used to transmit this data are higher than marine VHF, so using a standard marine VHF antenna will
compromise the performance of the AIS system.
We recommend that you use a dedicated AIS antenna to ensure the best possible signal reception to maximise your safety.
1.0m Masthead antenna.
Stainless steel whip and ABS housing with SO239 connector in the base.
