RadarPlus^® SM1610-2A
Rugged, High Sensitivity, Long Range, Frequency Agile AIS Base Station Receiver

INTRODUCING THE RADARPLUS^® SM1610-2A: Industry-proven performance in a frequency agile receiver.

When frequency agility is required, the RadarPlus® SM1610-2A combines superior performance with 156-162 MHz frequency coverage.

The SM1610-2 is designed to meet all of the receiving requirements of AIS Base Stations per ITU-R M.1371-1

The RadarPlus SM1610-2 serial data output will drive most popular marine charting software packages and ECDIS available today. The output provides the location of all AIS transponders within receiving range.

• High-sensitivity, maximum range AIS reception
• Power consumption less than 2.5 watts
• 12-channel internal GPS standard
• Shine Micro's proprietary ESP software standard
• Mast-mounted LNA included
• Superior protection against co-located transmitters and near lightning strikes
  

• RS-232 (STANDARD)
• IEC 61162
• RS-422
• ETHERNET
  

PROVEN POWERFUL PERFORMANCE.

Building from the proven success of the SM1610, the SM1610-2 is one of the most powerful AIS tools on the market, with demonstrated long range performance.

Industry-leading tracking range is achieved through NOISESION demodulator technology (patent pending), which demodulates AIS packets both forward and backward for superior reception of noisy, weak signals.

System performance and installation flexibility are optimized through an external Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) designed to be mast mounted at the antenna.

An optional micro-transmitter located inside the LNA provides an important integrity check of the entire receiving system by injecting a calibrated AIS1 and AIS2 signal at the LNA antenna input. This is useful to insure the health of the entire receiver, LNA and coaxial feed-line system. The micro-transmitter can compensate for losses in cavity filters and long coaxial feed-lines, which are often installation specific. A performance test report is provided with each unit.
