Featuring a powerful 5-watt SOTDMA Class B\/SO transmitter, it provides long-range, high-priority AIS transmissions that enable your vessel to be detected earlier and at greater distances, even in congested waterways. This capability ensures that your vessel’s position, movement, and hazard reports are communicated with clarity and reliability, facilitating safer navigation. The MDA-6 continuously broadcasts dynamic data such as speed over ground (SOG), course over ground (COG), heading, and hazard alerts, giving surrounding vessels a detailed and accurate picture of your vessel’s movements, which is crucial for collision avoidance and maritime safety. Its advanced signal processing and high-fidelity AIS performance make it suitable for a variety of maritime environments, from recreational boating to commercial operations. Built for durability, the MDA-6 features an IP67-rated housing that is waterproof, dustproof, and vibration-resistant, ensuring reliable operation in harsh marine conditions. Its compact and lightweight design allows for flexible installation options on any vessel, whether for high-speed craft or commercial fleets. The device includes an external GPS antenna for precise positioning and supports multiple connectivity options, including NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, enabling seamless integration with navigation systems, tablets, and laptops. The Bluetooth programming app simplifies setup and troubleshooting, while the integrated Wi-Fi provides quick access to vessel data on compatible devices. The MDA-6 also incorporates built-in VDR capabilities and complies with IEC-62287-2, FCC, and USCG certifications, ensuring adherence to international safety standards. This versatile transceiver is ideal for vessels requiring extended-range AIS visibility, high-speed operations, and reliable communication in demanding marine environments. Whether for commercial use, recreational boating, or busy waterways, the SI-TEX MDA-6 offers a comprehensive solution for enhanced maritime safety and situational awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e5W SOTDMA Class B\/SO for long-range, high-priority AIS transmissions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-fidelity AIS performance for precise, reliable tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntegrated high-power Wi-Fi for tablets and laptops\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBluetooth programming app for fast setup and troubleshooting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAIS Control App with hazard reporting similar to WAZE\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in VDR capability for vessel data recording\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and USB connectivity for versatile integration\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLow power consumption for efficient operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExternal GPS antenna included for accurate positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIP67 waterproof, dustproof, and vibration-resistant housing\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight design for flexible installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCertifications: IEC-62287-2, FCC, USCG compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Si-Tex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49050739867956,"sku":"112597","price":871.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/0575\/7748\/files\/112597XL.jpg?v=1772032903","url":"https:\/\/bldmarine.com\/products\/si-tex-mda-6-high-power-5w-sotdma-class-b-so-ais-transceiver-with-bluetooth-wi-fi-nmea0183-and-usb-interface","provider":"BLDMarine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
