Streamlining Navigation Aid Testing and Inspection with a Patented, Rechargeable AIS Base Station
The DX081PB is a compact and portable AIS base station designed for manufacturers, engineering teams, and other users who need to test and monitor navigation aids (NAVAIDs) like AIS beacons and lights before installation or during inspections. Unlike traditional large AIS base stations, the DX081PB provides a practical solution for signal transmission and reception, ensuring the proper functionality and compliance of navigation equipment.
Ideal for channel inspections, the DX081PB enables users to receive AIS information from all beacons in a specific waterway simultaneously. This allows for targeted maintenance and precise fault identification, reducing the need for labor-intensive inspections and the need to approach each individual beacon or light by boat.
