A026 AIS Receiver with WiFi GPS for Marine Data Accuracy

The A026 is a compact, dual‑channel AIS receiver that merges AIS data with GPS position and external NMEA 0183 sentences, outputting a unified data stream. It supports Wi‑Fi, USB, and RS‑422, letting you view live AIS and GPS info on smartphones, tablets, PCs, or chart plotters. Its built‑in GPS provides your own vessel’s location, enhancing situational awareness compared to AIS-only receivers. The device monitors both AIS VHF channels (161.975 and 162.025 MHz) with a sensitivity down to –105 dBm. Typical range is up to ~22 nautical miles. It’s USB-powered (5 V), and has BNC for the AIS antenna and a powered SMA for GPS antenna. The Wi‑Fi module supports Ad Hoc and Station modes, allowing up to 4 devices to connect. There’s also an NMEA 0183 input so you can multiplex other NMEA devices (e.g., depth or heading) into the same output stream. Compatible with chart-plotter apps on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
