The AISLink CB2 is an advanced safety and collision avoidance solution utilizing the superior SOTDMA access system. Providing the same transmission priority as Class A AIS transponders, the AISLink CB2 features primary benefits including a faster reporting rate and higher output power. The AISLink CB2 AIS Transponder is a fully compliant, waterproof Class B Transponder designed to help avoid collisions. Using advanced SOTDMA technology, the AISLink CB2 features inherent advantages, including a faster reporting rate and a higher output power, in relation to all CSTDMA Class B products on the market. Utilizing 99 acquisition channels and 33 tracking channels, the internal multi-GPS receiver continuously transmits your vessel information including position, speed, course and heading, ensuring an indication of the most accurate global positioning at all times. In addition to transmission of dynamic vessel information, the AISLink CB2 also continuously transmits static information including vessel name, call sign, vessel type, vessel dimensions, and MMSI number. Programming static information into the AISLink CB2 proves effortless as the user has the ability to simply upload this information via Wi-Fi using ACR's free mobile app. Upon completion of the quick and easy installation process, the AISLink CB2 receives and interprets messages from other AIS equipped vessels within range and then seamlessly communicates this information to other navigation devices on your vessel such as chart plotters, laptops or mobiles using the CB2's NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, USB or WiFi outputs. A primary benefit that users can rely on is the transmission priority provided by the AISLink CB2 due to the use of the SOTDMA access scheme versus CSTDMA. Use of SOTDMA the same AIS transmission priority as a class A transponder, ensures a faster reporting rate with transmissions every 5 seconds instead of every 30 seconds, and also ensures a higher output power of 5 Watts instead of 2 Watts.
