AIS goes mobile for more convenience aboard! Weatherdock WiFi products are a quantum jump regarding the simplification of data use aboard. With the built-in WiFi module, an additional navigation place is created on your boat. Received AIS data, and in addition, multiplexed NMEA data like GPS, wind, depth, speed, etc. from your boat are wirelessly linked to your mobile device. The latter can be a notebook, tablet PC, iPhone or To visualize data on your mobile device, Weatherdock offers a free App named "easyAIS", which is available for download through the Apple store. In case you are running a mobile device with lower screen resolution, we still recommand to use a suitable plotter with appropriate resolution foryoursafety. The easyTRX2-IS-WiFi receives the incoming AIS data sent by commercial vessels (Class A), pleasure boats (Class B) and AIS S.A.R.T. (easyRESCUE). These telegrams are processed into a NMEA protocol which can be interpreted by chart plotters or PC software. With the wireless link to your mobile device, these data will promptly be received there as well. The integrated antenna splitter allows you to share the existing VHF aerial for both, the VHF radio communication and the AIS communication. The easyTRX2-IS-WiFi transmits according the AIS-Class B standard all own AIS data like ship name, speed and course over ground, etc. to every AIS receiver or transceiver within its radio range. Using the easyTRX2-IS-WiFi is the simpliest way to make yourself visible to others, having all necessary information about Running the "easyAIS" App, you will see a radar screen appearing, showing all received AIS targets within range. A click on a target will prompt you detailed information to this specific target, such as ship's name, speed and course over ground, etc. Additional information to your own boat's navigational status like your own speed, course, wind, etc. are available through sub- menues of the App, if you feed the easyTRX2-IS-WiFi built-in multiplexer with boat information. Required is an own GPS antenna. To receive and transmit AIS, you can use an extra VHF aerial connected to the antenna input. Alternatively you can make use of the already installed VHF aerial, which you are using for VHF radio communication. In this case, connect the VHF antenna to the easyTRX2-IS-WiFi antenna socket. The VHF radio is simply connected to the VHF radio socket you will find at the front panel of the easyTRX2-IS-WiFi. As a third solution you can run the easyTRX2-IS-W¡F¡ with Weatherdock's VHF/GPS combi antenna. In that case you need not touching already installed antenna hardware at your boat.The mobile device has to have an installed AIS compatible software or App too. A PC/notebook is stringent necessary for configuration of your easyTRX2-IS-WiFi. If used for navigation, a navigational, AIS compatible software needs to be installed on your PC/notebook. Running a chartplotter or a WiFi compliant mobile device for navigation, a PC/notebook is of course not necessary. The operating system on your PC/notebook must be Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista or Windows 7. The screen resolution shouldn't be less than 800*600 at least. To transmit your own AIS data, a MMSI number must be programmed to the easyTRX2-IS-W¡F¡. The MMSI number can be programmed by yourself; alternatively ask your dealer to do it for you. Normally this MMSI number is equivalent to the MMSI numberyou are running with your VHF radio. If you are not yet registered with a MMSI number, please contact the national authorities to apply for a MMSI. In Germany please contact the "Bundesnetzagentur".
