Digital Yacht AIT5000 Class B+ Technical Guide
The AIT5000 is a Class B+ SOTDMA transponder that acts as a central hub for your boat's data. It features a 5W transmitter for better range and SOTDMA technology for faster position reporting in congested waterways.
It features integrated NMEA-to-WiFi streaming, allowing it to send AIS, GPS, and other NMEA 2000 instrument data to mobile apps. This is ideal for using an iPad or tablet as a secondary navigation display anywhere on the boat.
Yes, the AIT5000 features a patented zero-loss splitter technology. This allows for the simultaneous operation of your VHF radio and the AIS transponder on a single antenna without the 3dB power loss common in passive splitters.
The unit is highly connected, offering NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, and USB. This makes it a perfect "bridge" device, allowing legacy instruments and modern MFDs to share data seamlessly across different protocols.
It includes a dedicated silent mode switch input. By connecting a physical toggle switch, you can stop the unit from broadcasting your position (for privacy or fishing) while still continuing to receive data from other ships.
