WideLink B600 AIS Class B SO

---

WideLink B600 is the world’s first SO-TDMA class B certified to IEC 62287-1 Ed.2.0: 2017, the next evolution of AIS technology. Its 5W transmit power, higher reporting rate and professional grade time division management make B600 an overall more advanced product compared to AIS class B based on CSTDMA scheme.
The WideLink B600 converts NMEA 2000 instrument data into NMEA 0183 sentences, such as heading, speed, depth, temperature, wind, pressure and so on. With the multiplexing function, sensor data along with AIS and GPS information can be displayed on chart plotters and PC programs.

FEATURES:

• 5W transmit power

higher reporting rate and professional grade time division management make B600 an overall more advanced product compared to AIS class B based on CSTDMA scheme.

• The globally approved transponder contains 1 VHF transmitter, 2 AIS receivers on 2 VHF channels and 1 MCU with cutting edge software defined radio technology.

• Its internal GNSS receiver with 50 channels is able to process signals from GPS, Gallieo, Beitou and Glonass with differential capability. It receives DSC, time-sharing with AIS receivers.

• Its enhanced housing with IPx7 waterproof and shock and temperature robustness is ideal to survive harsh marine environments.

Chart plotter and PC can be easily integrated over its NMEA2000, NMEA0183 and waterproof USB port. Its built-in data logger can record AIS data on micro SD card in the most intuitive way.
