AMEC CYPHO-150S AIS Receiver with Antenna Splitter

The AMEC CYPHO-150S is a low cost, dual-channel AIS receiver with integrated VHF antenna splitter. It receives AIS navigation data from AIS-equipped vessels nearby and improves navigation safety. CYPHO-150S is designed to inter-operate with AIS Class A or Class B transponders, and any other AIS stations operating on the AIS VHF data link.

CYPHO-150S is built with two parallel AIS receivers in one box monitoring the default marine VHF AIS channels (161.975 and 162.025 MHz) with optimized sensitivity. Having CYPHO-150 AIS receiver on board, not only can you monitor the status of the vessels in the surrounding area, but also receive the dynamic information (position, speed, SOG, etc.), static information (ship name, MMSI, call sign, etc.), and voyage related information (cargo type, destination, etc.) from any vessels nearby that are equipped with AIS transponders.

Its two interfaces connects the CYPHO-150S to NMEA standard chart plotters from Raymarine, Garmin, Northstar, Lowrance, Simrad and others, as well as USB devices such as navigation computers.

The CYPHO-150S includes an integrated VHF antenna splitter. This simplifies installation by allowing you to safely share a single VHF antenna for both the AIS receiver and your VHF radio. This solution works with any VHF radio. When you are not transmitting on the radio, both the AIS receiver and the radio receive normally. When you transmit on the radio, the integrated splitter temporarily blocks the signal to the AIS receiver and protects the AIS receiver from the transmission power from the radio.

The AMEC CYPHO-150S is IPX2 water resistant providing acceptable protection against water and to provide extra protection against challenging marine environments. The CYPHO-150S has gained CE and FCC certification, and passed IEC 60945 tests.
