The B952 is a high power (5W SOTDMA) Class B AIS transceiver, offering unmatched performance and ultra-low power consumption. Small and lightweight, it combines integrated Wi-Fi & Bluetooth capabilities for seamless wireless connectivity and AIS data streaming. It is compatible with any mobile device, PC or wearable – ensuring everyone on board gets the most from your transceiver and related onboard equipment every day.
The B952 transceiver works seamlessly with Em-Trak’s CONNECT-AIS app to make programming, configuration and device monitoring easier than ever before. The class-leading device is engineered to deliver real-time data processing, with increased range and transmission priority and its flexible connectivity means it can be used by up to nine different devices simultaneously.
Em-Trak’s next-gen technology means the B952 is delivered within a compact, easy to install, rugged package designed and manufactured to operate reliably without maintenance in the harshest marine environments.
