Lightweight Portable AIS Base Station For Testing Buoy & Beacon Signal Receiver
Field-Ready AIS Base Station – Lightweight Tool for Marine Engineers
The DX081PB is a compact, portable AIS base station designed for use by manufacturers, marine engineers and inspection teams. Designed for pre-installation testing and field maintenance, it facilitates the transmission and reception of AIS signals to ensure that navigation lights and beacons are functioning correctly and in compliance with regulations. Its rechargeable lithium battery provides up to 20 hours of continuous operation, and its small size makes it ideal for channel inspections, eliminating the need to approach each buoy or light by boat.
