GME AISS120 Zero Loss Active VHF Antenna Splitter

Use your AIS and VHF without interference

VHF radios and AIS devices operate within the same frequency band
and as such can use the same VHF antenna. The GME AISS120
Zero Loss Active VHF Antenna Splitter permits a standard
marine VHF antenna to serve both the AIS device and VHF radio
without any degradation of signal. Using advanced signal processing
the AISS120 is the perfect solution for AIS installations on boats
where additional antenna mounting space is not available. Clear
Call Routing provides a key safety feature, ensuring VHF radio
emergency priority and full operational performance even when power
fails.

The AISS120 AIS antenna splitter is designed to work primarily with
class B AIS Radios such as the AIST120, although it will operate
equally well with AIS receivers such as the AISR120. The AISS120 is
supplied with the necessary cables to connect to a VHF radio and
either the AIST120 or AISR120

Automatic Identification System
One of the most important safety features and fastest growth areas
in marine Navigation is AIS – Automatic Identification System. This
collision avoidance technology is particularly valuable to boaters
who regularly travel or fish in busy waterways or near major
shipping routes. Having an operating AIS transponder onboard will
turn your boat into a visible radio beacon indicating your speed,
course and identity to other AIS equipped vessels or base
stations.

AIS Receiver
An AIS receiver will allow you to track other AIS traffic in the
area and identify ‘Aids to Navigation’ (AtoN) even when not visibly
by sight. You’ll no longer be inhibited by limitations like
‘inline-of-site’ radar. Unlike radar, AIS allows you to ‘see’ other
AIS equipped craft behind obstructions like islands and land masses
or hidden behind another vessel, and is equally effective in fog or
darkness. AIS information is displayed on dedicated AIS screens or
AIS compatible Chartplotters.
