SAILOR® 6280/6281 AIS SYSTEM

The SAILOR 6280/6281 AIS System (Class A) is a SAILOR product through and through. From the innovative ‘black box’ system design and user friendly touch screen operation, to flexible  installation possibilities and inherent durability, it is built on the fundamental qualities that have made SAILOR a well respected name in maritime communication. You can trust it to reliably broadcast your AIS data and display that of vessels around you, ensuring your ability to operate safely and efficiently.

Installation possibilities

A major innovation of the SAILOR 6280/6281 AIS System is its modular design. Being a ‘black box’ solution ensures highly flexible installation possibilities. It is 100 % network integrated; just install the black box transponder wherever convenient and connect it via LAN (using the sophisticated Lightweight Ethernet protocol) to the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel (touch display) for complete installation flexibility.

Touch innovation

SAILOR has pioneered the use of touch screen bridge equipment with the SAILOR 6006 Message Terminal, which is part of the industry leading SAILOR 6000 GMDSS Series. The new touch display for the SAILOR 6280/6281 AIS System is a natural progression of this, offering intuitive and familiar control. Operating the SAILOR 6280/6281 AIS System is similar to using your smartphone; simply activate the functions by activating the app on the display. This is a concept that can truly revolutionize the way to work on the bridge.

Advanced features

In addition to its innovative design and operation, the SAILOR 6280/6281 AIS System delivers high performance on basic parameters, such as sensitivity, immunity, and blocking, so you can be confident in its ability to deliver and receive all AIS information at all times. A strong feature set, designed to provide safe and flexible operation based on reliable AIS data, makes the SAILOR 6280/6281 AIS System one of the most advanced Class A compliant systems available.
