Digital Yacht PilotLINK2 Class A Pilot Plug WiFi

The Digital Yacht PilotLINK2 converts the standardized pilot-plug data output found on many Class A AIS transponders into a secure wireless stream for phones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible devices. It is aimed at maritime pilots, delivery captains, survey personnel, and other users who need temporary access to a ship’s AIS and GPS data without installing permanent onboard hardware.

The compact interface is powered from a USB source and can create its own password-protected wireless network or join an existing onboard network. Compatible navigation applications can receive the data using common IP protocols, allowing a personal device to display vessel and traffic information from the ship’s Class A AIS system.

A browser-based setup page provides wireless configuration, diagnostics, Class A status information, and a raw marine-data monitor. Data can also be logged for later analysis, giving professional users a convenient troubleshooting or record-keeping tool in addition to live navigation connectivity.
