Meet the A053T Portable Class B AIS Transponder, bringing flexibility to the AIS Transponder market.

The A053T  is the ideal solution for receiving and transmitting AIS information from the palm of your hand.

Compact, portable and efficient, the A053T not only meets your local Class B AIS compliance requirements, but also offers flexibility in situations where a permanent fixed transponder may not be possible or suitable.

In addition to transmitting your AIS data to nearby vessels and shore stations, the A053T also receives and decodes incoming AIS messages — just like our dedicated AIS receivers. It integrates GPS data with AIS signals, allowing you to accurately track your own position and see other vessels in your vicinity in real-time.

The A053T supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless standard and offers two main modes of operation: Ad-hoc mode (peer-to-peer) and Station mode (infrastructure mode). The device can operate in both modes simultaneously, allowing flexible network connectivity options.
