Description
Digital Yacht AISnode | NMEA 2000 Class B AIS Receiver
Streamline your vessel’s data network by implementing the Digital Yacht AISnode, a dedicated Class B AIS receiver designed specifically for NMEA 2000 backbones. This compact device captures real-time target data from surrounding vessels and outputs it directly onto the network bus, allowing all connected chartplotters and MFDs to display critical collision avoidance information with zero configuration required.
Engineered for simple “plug and play” installation, the AISnode draws power directly from the NMEA 2000 network. Ensuring the NMEA 2000 drop cable is securely connected and within length limits is critical to preventing data packet loss and maintaining consistent target updates during heavy maritime traffic periods in busy harbors.
Technical Key Features
- Dedicated NMEA 2000 AIS receiver logic.
- Dual-channel monitoring for rapid target updates.
- Plug-and-play integration with MFD networks.
- Low-draw power consumption via NMEA backbone.
- Compact, waterproof housing for easy mounting.
- Internal LED status indicators for diagnostics.
- Standard BNC connector for VHF antennas.

Digital Yacht AISnode NMEA 2000 AIS Receiver Technical Guide
The AISnode is a true NMEA 2000 AIS receiver designed for easy integration. Unlike receivers that require an external converter, the AISnode plugs directly into your NMEA 2000 backbone, instantly sharing target data with every compatible display on your network.
No, the AISnode is powered by the NMEA 2000 bus. This "single cable" installation reduces clutter behind the dashboard and makes it an ideal choice for center consoles and small powerboats where space and wiring complexity are concerns.
Yes, it features a dual-channel parallel receiver architecture. It monitors both AIS frequencies (161.975MHz and 162.025MHz) simultaneously, ensuring that no vessel transmissions are missed, providing a complete real-time picture of surrounding traffic.
The unit requires a standard VHF or AIS antenna. For the best reception range, it is recommended to use an antenna tuned specifically for AIS frequencies, though a standard VHF antenna with a splitter can also be used effectively.
No, the AISnode is a receive-only AIS device. It is designed for boaters who want to see commercial ships and other AIS-equipped vessels on their chartplotter for safety but do not need to transmit their own position data.
