R450-XG NETWORK AIS RECEIVER WITH ETHERNET, WiFi & GPS
The R450 series is a professional-grade AIS receiver range, 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, delivering comprehensive situational awareness for ports, authorities, and commercial users.
With both Ethernet and built-in WiFi connectivity, the R450 streams AIS 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 data over the Internet to a fixed IP address for centralised display.
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.

COMAR R450-XG Network AIS Receiver with Ethernet, WiFi & GPS
The Comar R450-XG is a professional, shore-based dual-channel AIS receiver that includes an integrated 12-channel GPS receiver. It is designed for coastal monitoring and port operations, serving as the direct replacement for the legacy R400NXG.
KEY FEATURES
- Integrated GPS: Features a 12-parallel channel GPS receiver that outputs standard NMEA sentences (GPGGA, GPRMC, GPGSV, GPGSA) alongside AIS data.
- Networking Module: Uses a Lantronix® XPort® module, supporting up to 4 TCP and 1 UDP client/server connections. This differentiates it from the “D” models, which use Digi modules for higher UDP capacity.
- Comprehensive Connectivity:
- Ethernet (RJ45): 10/100 Base-T for direct LAN or server integration.
- Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz module with Access Point (AP), Station (STA), and concurrent AP+STA modes.
- USB (Type B): For local monitoring and virtual COM port configuration.
- Broad Decoding: Captures all AIS message types, including Class A, Class B, Aids to Navigation (AtoN), and SART transmissions.
- Sensitivity: AIS sensitivity up to -112 dBm; GPS sensitivity up to -163 dBm.
- Power: 12V DC nominal (9–30V DC supported) with 3W power consumption.
- Build: IP40-rated ABS enclosure with carbon-reinforced PETG-CF connector panels.
- Dimensions: 140 mm x 120 mm x 37 mm; Weight: 250g.
