R6 Supreme AIS – Type‑approved AIS Class‑A with advanced SDR and VDES‑ready capability
The TransponderTech R6 Supreme AIS is a next‑generation AIS Class‑A transponder system built around a modern Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture and engineered to meet demanding SOLAS AIS Class‑A carriage requirements. Type‑approved to IEC 61933‑2 and compliant with international cybersecurity standards for navigation and radio communication systems, the R6 Supreme AIS provides high‑integrity performance for commercial and government vessels that require reliable AIS operation under challenging RF and operational conditions.
Designed with a VDES‑ready platform, the R6 Supreme AIS offers exceptional receiver sensitivity (better than –118 dBm), enabling superior signal reception and extended range beyond conventional AIS systems. The intuitive R6 Control & Display Unit (CDU) features a 7‑inch sunlight‑readable touch display, ensuring clear visibility and simple interaction for bridge teams. A built‑in system web interface further supports configuration, diagnostics and maintenance over secure onboard networks.
