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.
