CYPHO-150 AIS Receiver

---

The AMEC CYPHO-150 (any CYPHO-150 model) is an AIS receiver. It receives AIS navigation data from AIS-equipped vessels nearby and the data is utilized to improve navigation safety. CYPHO-150 is designed to inter-operate with AIS Class A or Class B transponders, or any other AIS station operating on the AIS VHF data link.

CYPHO-150 is built with two parallel AIS receivers in one box. The default frequencies are standard marine VHF AIS channels, i.e. 161.975 and 162.025 MHz. Having CYPHO-150 AIS receiver on board, not only can you monitor the status of the vessels in the surrounding area, but also receive the dynamic information (position, speed, SOG, etc.), static information (ship name, MMSI, call sign, etc.), and voyage related information (cargo type, destination, etc.) from any vessels nearby that are equipped with AIS transponders.

FEATURES:

• Dual-channel parallel AIS receivers

The CYPHO-150 includes two AIS receivers operating in parallel providing true dual-channel simultaneous reception of both Class A and Class B transponder signals. This ensures that all AIS transponder broadcasts are captured in real time.

• IPX2 rated

Water resistant

• Viewer program included

The CYPHO 150 includes a free Windows-based AIS viewer program to display Radar View and Alphanumeric information about AIS targets.

• Versatile interface selection

NMEA0183 (RS422) and USB provide connections for a wide range of display devices. This unit can also be powered by the USB port or via the 12vDC power wires.

• Robust USB chipset and device drivers

Rock solid Microchip Technology USB chipset with device drivers for current 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and fully compatible with marine navigation software such as Coastal Explorer.
