Marine AIS Antennas

Appeared in the early 2000s, the universal shipborne automatic identification system (AIS) incorporates a standard marine VHF transceiver, GPS module, gyrocompass, and certain electronic navigation sensors such as the ROTI indicator. In order to receive and transmit signals, an AIS transceiver needs a VHF antenna that has to meet certain requirements; particularly, it has to be vertical, with impedance of 50 ohm, and its gain should be no less than 3 dB. Our online store carries a wide range of quality marine AIS antennas that provide a stable connection and meet or exceed the existing standards for the category.

Sourced from such brands as Digital Antenna, Digital Yacht, Glomex, and Scout, our products use various solutions aimed at the finest efficiency and longest service life, such as a durable whip made of stainless steel or fiberglass, sealed coil base, etc. For reliable mounting, many antennas utilize stainless steel hardware allowing you to install them on different vertical or horizontal surfaces. Besides, many models come with cables. Using your existing VHF radio antenna for both AIS and other systems is also possible, but you're likely to need a suitable antenna splitter – it is also available at our store.
