Furuno FA30 Black Box AIS Receiver

The Furuno FA30 Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver provides real-time information about AIS-equipped vessels to your NavNet 3D or NavNet vx2, AIS-ready chart plotter, navigation software or radar. The information received includes the vessel name and call sign, position, course, speed over ground, and other useful information for situational awareness in congested waterways, limited visibility or heavy sea conditions.

The FA30 has an Ethernet and a serial port. This provides simple and easy connection by Ethernet to NavNet VX2 and NavNet 3D systems, MaxSea NavNet Navigation software, and the MaxSea AIS viewer PC software that is included with the FA30. The FA30 will work with virtually any marine VHF antenna.
