Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GME AIST120?

The AIST120 is GME's Class B AIS (Automatic Identification System) Transceiver. AIS is a maritime vessel tracking and identification system required by law on commercial vessels and widely used on recreational boats for collision avoidance and tracking. Class B AIS is the standard for non-SOLAS recreational and smaller commercial vessels. The AIST120 both transmits and receives AIS data.

What is the GME GPS450?

The GPS450 is GME's external GPS aerial, providing a dedicated, externally mounted GPS antenna for position data. When used with an AIS transceiver such as the AIST120, it supplies accurate position information for the vessel's AIS transmissions.

Is the AD408 required or optional for the AIST120?

The supplier data confirms this adaptor "is required to connect the GPS450 external GPS aerial to the AIST120." It is not an optional accessory — without it, the GPS450 cannot be connected to the AIST120. If you are installing a GPS450 with an AIST120, the AD408 must be purchased separately.

Can this adaptor be used with other AIS transceivers or GPS aerials?

The AD408 is specified for the GPS450 + AIST120 combination only. Compatibility with other AIS transceivers or GPS aerials from GME or other brands is not confirmed — contact GME before using with other equipment.

What connector types does the AD408 bridge?

The connector types on each end of the adaptor are not confirmed in the available supplier data. Contact GME if connector type information is required for your installation planning.
