HIGH PERFORMANCE
B951 CLASS B┃5W/SO
The B951 is a high power (5W SOTDMA) Class B transceiver, delivering advanced performance and ultimate reliability through em-trak’s next-gen technology. Small and durable, this trusted transceiver processes all AIS transmissions in real-time, with increased range and transmission priority so you always have the complete picture and the time to respond, even in the busiest waters.
em-trak’s flexible, intelligent connectivity means the B951 can be paired to any chart-plotter and its next-gen GPS receiver and antenna is already integrated inside the device to provide best-in-class, ultra low power consumption and performance. em-trak’s unique FLEXI-FIT® bracket system completes the package and ensures easy installation.
