Garmin International is pleased to introduce the AIS 600 transceiver. Add a new level of safety and convenience to your vessel with the Garmin AIS 600. This black box AIS tranceiver allows mariners to receive AIS target data as well as transmit their own vessel information to other AIS receivers in the area. The AIS 600 aids in collision avoidance by helping users track and contact anyone in the area who has a VHF radio and MMSI number. Mariners can now rest easy knowing that they have visibility of boat traffic around them and that they can be seen by other vessels while at sea.

The AIS 600 is NMEA 2000 certified and is easily added to the existing NMEA 2000 network. Once installed, the AIS 600 is controlled via chartplotter display - giving you all the information you need right at your fingertips. In addition, the AIS 600 comes with a built-in active splitter that allows one VHF antenna to serve both the AIS 600 and any VHF radio with minimal signal loss to give users more space and make installation easy without the need for additional hardware.
