The R450-DG is a professional-grade AIS receiver with an integrated GPS receiver, designed for shoreside monitoring of vessel traffic within VHF range. It decodes all AIS message types, including Class A, Class B, Aids to Navigation, and SARTs, while also providing accurate GPS positioning data alongside the AIS feed.
With both Ethernet and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, the R450-DG streams AIS and GPS data directly to PCs, servers, or mobile devices over wired or wireless networks. It supports local monitoring, sharing data across a network, or sending AIS and GPS data over the Internet to a fixed IP address for centralised display.
The compact ABS enclosure with carbon-reinforced connector slides is lightweight yet durable, and houses Comar’s proven highsensitivity dual-channel parallel AIS receiver, trusted in professional environments worldwide.
The R450 series is offered in four models to suit different requirements:
Models with a D designation feature an integrated Digi® network module, while X models are equipped with a Lantronix® Xport module, providing flexibility to match existing network infrastructure or preferences. Versions with the G suffix include an internal GPS receiver in addition to AIS reception.
