The most feature-rich 2W CSTDMA AIS transceiver in the B900 range. The B924 includes WiFi & Bluetooth for seamless wireless connectivity and AIS data streaming to any mobile device, PC or wearable, with an integrated VHF antenna splitter to enable your transceiver to share your existing VHF antenna without any loss of performance. Like all B900 transceivers, it also includes an integrated next-generation GPS receiver and antenna and is designed for em-trak’s unique FLEXI-FIT® bracket system to make installation as easy as possible.Exceptionally light-weight and completely weatherproof, the B924 delivers the very best (2W) AIS receive and transmit performance so you see all AIS information and targets, even at maximum range. Your transceiver will also work with our CONNECT-AIS mobile phone app to make programming, configuration and transceiver health monitoring simple and convenient.
