CAMINO-108 is AMEC´s new generation class B AIS transponder. It allows exchange of AIS messages with other AIS equipped vessels within VHF range – the essential way to improve collision avoidance on the water.
CAMINO-108 is designed to provide high performance and great reliability, resulting from our software defined radio technology expertise and years long field experience.
CAMINO-108 series supports “Dual GPS Backup” to enable GPS input from both NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183. This feature actively backs up your external GPS antenna to ensure the positioning and transmission of your AIS transponder.
The dual-channel receivers ensure maximum reception of available AIS messages. Its NMEA2000, NMEA0183 and waterproof USB port enable simple integration with chart plotters and PCs. Built-in SD card slot makes storage of AIS data easier than ever.
