Digital Yacht AIT5000 Class B+ 5W SOTDMA AIS Transponder With Splitter And WIFI

What is SOTDMA or CLASS B+ ? Down load this white paper prepared by Digital Yacht that explains all.

The AIT5000 is a Class B+ AIS Transponder with a 5W power output, a Wi-Fi interface, a built-in VHF splitter and utilises SOTDMA format transmissions.

Digital Yacht have introduced a new range of Class B+ AIS transponders. Class B+, a new standard, utilises SOTDMA format transmissions which offer a 5W power output (2.5x more powerful than a regular Class B), a guaranteed time slot for transmission in busy traffic areas and faster update rates depending upon the speed of the vessel. It’s ideal for ocean sailors requiring the best possible performance and future proof satellite tracking applications, fast power boats and smaller non-mandated commercial vessels. It still inter-operates with existing Class B and Class A systems.

The AIT5000 incorporates a patented ZeroLoss VHF-AIS antenna splitter allowing the main VHF antenna to be shared with VHF, AIS and FM radio. It also has a wireless interface for connecting to iPads, smartphones and tablets.

The AIS transmissions can be stopped with our AISConfig app and with a remote silence switch.

The AIT5000 the option of an AIS SART alarm which is great for use with personal AIS MOB devices.

NOTE ON SOTDMA TECHNOLOGY

Class B+ is a new generation of AIS functionality based on SOTDMA (self organised TMDA) messaging rather than the simpler CSTDMA (carrier sense TDMA). It guarantees your AIS transmission will get a time slot, even in areas of very high traffic density. It also specifies a 5W transmission power (compared with 2W for Class B) and a transmission rate that increases as the vessel moves faster. With regular Class B protocol, the transmission rate is fixed at every 30 seconds when the vessel is moving. It is ideal for ocean sailors requiring the best possible performance and future proof satellite tracking applications, fast power boats and smaller non-mandated commercial vessels.

Digital Yacht AIT5000 Class B+ 5W SOTDMA AIS Transponder With Splitter And WIFI Frequenty Asked Questions:

Q. What is SOTDMA and why is it important?

A. SOTDMA (Self-Organised Time Division Multiple Access) is the same protocol used by Class A AIS systems. It ensures priority transmission in congested waters, reliable data exchange with commercial vessels and improved situational awareness for safety and navigation.

Q. Does the AIT5000 include a built-in VHF antenna splitter?

A. Yes. It features a patented ZeroLoss VHF-AIS splitter, allowing you to share your boat's main VHF antenna with AIS transponder, VHF radio and FM radio. This eliminates the need for a second antenna and ensures no signal degradation.

Q. What connectivity options does the AIT5000 offer?

A. The AIT5000 includes Wi-Fi interface (connect up to 7 devices), USB port for PC/Mac, NMEA 0183 & NMEA 2000 for chartplotters and instruments and Built-in NMEA multiplexer for data consolidation.

Q. Can I view AIS data on mobile apps and tablets?

A. Absolutely. The AIT5000 creates a secure onboard Wi-Fi network compatible with Navionics, iNavX, TZ iBoat, OpenCPN, SailGrib and more AIS targets appear in real time on your charts, with CPA/TCPA alerts depending on the app.

Q. Is the AIT5000 compatible with existing AIS systems?

A. Yes. It fully interoperates with Class A AIS, Standard Class B AIS. This ensures seamless communication with commercial and recreational vessels.

Q. How do I configure the AIT5000?

A. Configuration is done via its web-based interface - Connect via Wi-Fi, Enter MMSI, vessel name, dimensions, and other static data. Use any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) Note: You must have a valid MMSI to transmit; otherwise, the unit operates in receive-only mode.

Q. Can I silence AIS transmissions if needed?

A. Yes. The AIT5000 supports remote TX silence switch and AISConfig app for manual transmission control. This is useful for privacy or when entering sensitive zones.

Q. Is the AIT5000 waterproof and suitable for UK marine conditions?

A. The unit is water-resistant and designed for below-deck installation. It's robust enough for saltwater environments and UK coastal and inland cruising. Ensure proper mounting and cable routing for optimal performance
