Digital Yacht ZDIGIAISTX - iAIS Wireless AIS Transponder
The Digital Yacht ZDIGIAISTX iAIS Wireless AIS Transponder is tailored for boaters who utilize iPads or Android tablets for navigation tasks. Serving as a full-function Class B AIS transponder with Wi-Fi capability, it transmits boat position and identity data to other AIS-equipped vessels while providing a wireless interface for mobile devices. This enables popular apps to display real-time data from other AIS-equipped vessels.
The iAISTX establishes a secure, password-protected local Wi-Fi network, facilitating the transmission of AIS and GPS data to iOS and Android apps such as Navionics, iSailor, Weather4D, SailGrib, iNavX, and TimeZero. These apps offer detailed overlays of local AIS targets, updated in real-time, with features including identity display and collision avoidance data like CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to closest point of approach).
Configuration is streamlined through the tablet's browser, offering a simple web interface for programming boat identity, physical dimensions, and wireless parameters. Installation is straightforward - connect power (12/24v), mount the external GPS antenna, and connect to a dedicated VHF antenna or existing VHF antenna using optional AIS-VHF antenna splitters like SPL1500 or SPL2000.
If integration with a multifunction display (MFD) is desired, the iAISTX Plus variant includes an additional NMEA 2000 interface.
Configuration:
The iAISTX features a built-in web interface for easy configuration accessible via computer, tablet, or smartphone. No additional software is required. Configuration can be done through the web browser, enabling adjustment of vessel details, network settings, and integration with existing Wi-Fi networks onboard.
NMEA data received by the transponder can be viewed in the web browser for simplified troubleshooting. Additionally, the iAISTX supports TCP and UDP network protocols for maximum app compatibility.
