This \"black box\" system integrates with existing multifunction displays on board, providing a discreet and high-performance solution for monitoring maritime traffic. The FA70 exchanges essential navigation data (ship name, call sign, position, heading, speed) with other AIS-equipped vessels and coastal stations, improving situational awareness.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSOTDMA technology and performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The FA70 uses SOTDMA (Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access) technology, which guarantees a dedicated AIS transmission time slot, even in high-traffic areas. This feature ensures increased visibility and reliable data transmission compared to CS-TDMA systems. With selectable transmit power of 5 W or 1 W in SOTDMA (vs. 2 W for standard Class B), the FA70 offers extended detection range. It can receive up to 4,500 AIS reports per minute across two channels, processing data from both Class A and Class B AIS transponders.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSimplified integration and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    This transponder includes an integrated VHF splitter, eliminating the need for a dedicated VHF antenna for AIS. It shares the vessel’s existing VHF antenna, simplifying installation and reducing clutter on the mast. The FA70 features an internal high-precision GPS receiver with WAAS (DGPS) capability and 12-channel reception, ensuring accurate positioning with a position accuracy of 13 meters (2 drms, HDOP \u003c= 4). Connectivity is provided via NMEA2000 ports (1 input, 1 output), NMEA0183 ports (2 inputs, 2 outputs), and a USB port (micro B), enabling flexible integration with various AIS-compatible radars and chartplotters, including Furuno NavNet systems. Silent mode can be activated via an external switch.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign and robustness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The transponder housing measures 177(L) x 55(H) x 158(D) mm and weighs 0.52 kg, facilitating installation in confined spaces. The GPS antenna unit has an IP56 waterproof rating, while other units are rated IP55, ensuring reliable operation in marine environments. Power is compatible with 12–24 VDC systems.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Furuno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56089354699092,"sku":"IMD031500AB","price":1239.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/furuno-fa70-ais-emetteurrecepteur-black-box-classe-b-sotdma-5w1w-splitter-vhf-integre-antenne-gps_im-1.jpg?v=1781256556","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en\/products\/furuno-fa70-ais-transceiver-black-box-class-b-sotdma-vhf-splitter","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
