EM-TRAK Class B AIS Transceiver with WiFi, Bluetooth & VHF Antenna Splitter – B954
The EM-TRAK B954 is a premium Class B AIS transceiver designed to deliver maximum safety, visibility, and installation simplicity for recreational and light commercial vessels. It continuously transmits your vessel’s position while receiving AIS data from surrounding traffic, helping you identify nearby vessels, assess collision risk, and navigate confidently in busy waterways.
Key Features
- 5W Class B AIS transceiver for extended range and strong visibility
- Integrated high-power VHF antenna splitter allows AIS and VHF radio to share one antenna
- Built-in WiFi for wireless AIS data streaming to chartplotters, tablets, and PCs
- Integrated Bluetooth for direct connection to mobile devices
- Built-in high-performance GPS receiver for accurate position reporting
Unlike basic AIS systems, the B954 combines multiple functions into a single compact unit. The integrated VHF antenna splitter eliminates the need for a second AIS antenna, reducing installation complexity and saving valuable space. AIS transmissions and VHF radio communications operate safely and independently from the same antenna without performance compromise.
With built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, AIS target data can be streamed wirelessly to compatible chartplotters, navigation apps, tablets, and smartphones. This allows multiple displays to access AIS information simultaneously without additional networking hardware or complex cabling.
The B954 continuously broadcasts your vessel’s identity, position, course, and speed while displaying surrounding AIS-equipped vessels in real time. This improves situational awareness in congested harbours, narrow channels, offshore passages, and reduced-visibility conditions such as fog or night operation.
Designed for a clean, professional marine installation, the B954 is ideal for boat owners who want the performance of a 5W AIS transceiver, the convenience of wireless connectivity, and the simplicity of a single-antenna setup—all in one integrated solution.
