Sailor 6280-6281

With SAILOR, you can choose between standalone Class A AIS systems or high quality VHF radios with AIS functionality built in depending on your vessel type or navigational requirements.

Though AIS started out as a mandatory safety and security system for ships over 300 gross tonnes and all passenger vessels, it is now used on a huge variety of professional and recreational craft worldwide.

AIS primarily uses VHF to transmit and receive vessel data including position and heading, helping crew, skippers and yacht owners to see a clear local navigational picture. Because AIS is based on VHF, when you choose a SAILOR AIS device, you can be confident that their decades of leadership in the field of maritime radio communication have been harnessed to ensure reliability and rich functionality.

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 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 (SAILOR 6004 Control Panel) 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.

Integration flexibility

Both the SAILOR 6280 AIS System and the SAILOR 6281 AIS Basic System, feature the ThraneLINK application interface. This makes servicing easy. The system is designed to be used standalone or as part of an Integrated Navigation System (INS).
