Introducing the ONWA KS-200A+ AIS Class B+ Transponder
ONWA Marine Electronics is excited to announce that the KS-200A+ AIS Class B+ Transponder is now available for order! This upgraded AIS transponder builds upon the success of its predecessor, the KS-200A, by incorporating advanced features designed to enhance marine safety, communication, and navigational efficiency. It is ideal for both commercial vessels and recreational boaters looking for a reliable, high-performance AIS solution.
Key Features of the KS-200A+ AIS Transponder
- AIS Class B+ Technology: The KS-200A+ is an AIS Class B+ transponder, which provides critical navigational information such as vessel identification, position, course, speed, and other essential data to nearby ships. This makes it a vital tool for collision avoidance and safe navigation in busy waters.
- SOTDMA Technology for Enhanced Communication: Unlike traditional Class B AIS devices, the KS-200A+ utilizes SOTDMA (Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access) technology. This ensures reliable, prioritized, and continuous communication in heavily congested AIS environments by minimizing the risk of data collisions.
- Adaptive Transmission Rates: The Class B+ technology in the KS-200A+ automatically adjusts transmission rates based on the vessel’s speed. Faster vessels will transmit more frequently, ensuring that nearby boats have the most up-to-date information to make informed navigational decisions.
- 5-Watt High-Power Transmission: With a transmission power of 5 watts, the KS-200A+ offers a stronger signal compared to standard Class B transponders. This increased power provides better signal coverage and range, allowing for more effective communication with other vessels over longer distances.
- Built-in WiFi Capability: The KS-200A+ comes with built-in WiFi, enabling easy access to AIS data on smartphones, tablets, or computers. This wireless functionality provides flexibility in monitoring and updating the system, allowing for remote access to critical information from anywhere on the vessel.
- NMEA2000 Interface for Seamless Integration: Equipped with an NMEA2000 interface, the KS-200A+ integrates seamlessly with other marine electronics on board. This allows for smooth data sharing and connectivity between multiple devices, such as chartplotters, radars, and other navigational systems.
- External GPS Antenna Required: To receive accurate GPS signals, the KS-200A+ requires an external GPS antenna. This ensures precise positioning data, which is crucial for safe navigation and effective communication among vessels.
Why Choose the KS-200A+ for Your Vessel?
- Enhanced Safety: The KS-200A+ provides critical AIS data transmission, allowing nearby vessels to quickly identify and track your vessel’s movements, significantly reducing the risk of collisions.
- Priority in Congested Waters: Thanks to SOTDMA technology, the KS-200A+ gets priority over standard Class B transponders in transmitting data, making it a reliable choice in crowded shipping lanes and busy ports.
- Improved Connectivity and Integration: The combination of WiFi capability and NMEA2000 interface offers unparalleled flexibility and connectivity, ensuring that your AIS system works seamlessly with other onboard equipment.
- User-Friendly and Future-Proof: The KS-200A+ is designed to be easy to install, use, and update, making it a future-proof investment that keeps your vessel equipped with the latest technology.
