Furuno FA170 AIS

The FA170 is a shipborne Universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) Transponder capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. The FA170 consists of a transponder unit and a compact display unit with 4.5″ Silver Bright Display. The compact FA170 display is designed to accommodate a simple and space-saving installation with a user-friendly ergonomic design.
The transponder unit contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on parallel VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface processor and internal GPS receiver.
