Furuno FA70 AIS Transceiver, Class B
Critical collision avoidance info in all weather conditions
The new FA70 AIS Transceiver provides multiple ports for simple connection to
your NavNet, AIS-capable Radar or Chart Plotter, or your favorite navigation
software. AIS is a critical enhancement in congested waterways, or during
periods of limited visibility or heavy seas. Information such as vessel name and
call sign, position, course, and speed are graphically presented, allowing you
to monitor vessel traffic easily. Because it does not require line of sight to
function, you can see AIS-equipped vessels on your electronics before you can
see them on the water.
The FA70 is a complete Class B+ (SOTDMA) AIS that transmits your vessel
information at faster rates and more powerfully than existing Class B units for
added awareness. SOTDMA guarantees an AIS time slot allocation, making you
visible in congested waters. The FA70 even has its own internal Hi-Accuracy GPS
Receiver with WAAS differential (DGPS) capability, ensuring that you're
transmitting the highest precision information. The standard built-in VHF
Antenna Splitter allows it to share your VHF Radio’s antenna, making
installation simple. Note that the FA70 is a transmitting device and requires an
AIS VHF Compatible Antenna just like any Class B+, Class B, or Class A AIS
system
