Description
Overview Furuno FA-50 Class B AIS Transponder
Furuno FA-50 Class B AIS Transponder is a black-box AIS solution for vessels that need to transmit their identity while receiving surrounding traffic information. It is designed to improve situational awareness on pleasure craft and smaller commercial vessels operating in busy coastal traffic.
With a 12-channel GPS receiver, dual-parallel TDMA VHF channels, Ethernet, and NMEA 0183 connectivity, the FA-50 can feed AIS information to compatible displays and PC-based systems. Its remote-mount form factor helps keep the helm uncluttered while adding a useful layer of traffic awareness.
Key Features
- Class B AIS transponder: Broadcasts vessel data while receiving nearby AIS targets for traffic awareness.
- Integrated GPS receiver: Uses 12-channel all-in-view GPS tracking for accurate AIS reporting.
- Ethernet and NMEA connectivity: Supports integration with NavNet systems, other displays, and PC software.
- Up to 100 targets: Allows the operator to view a broad set of nearby AIS contacts on compatible systems.
- Compact bulkhead installation: The black-box design is easier to place where helm space is limited.
Applications
Suitable for coastal passage making, harbor approaches, and smaller commercial or recreational vessels that want AIS traffic monitoring without dedicating dash space to a separate display unit.
