VDL 6000 AIS     Class A System    


 

The VDL 6000 AIS Class A System
is compliant to the International
standards ITU M.1371-1 and IEC
61993-2 as applicable for SOLAS
vessels.

     
The system is wheel marked.

The VDL 6000 is robustly designed with technology used in C.N.S. Systems civil aviation products
with its special demands on quality, performance, safety, security, traceability etc.

       
The VDL 6000 system consists of three basic building blocks; Transponder, MKD and Connection
Unit (including connecting cables). The system is optionally delivered with antennas, antenna cables
and connectors.
The VDL 6000 system is based on a digital radio module, high performance processors, robust software
and a compact design.
