ACR Debuts Nauticast-INLAND AIS
ACR Electronics, Inc., has introduced the NauticastINLAND AIS, a Class A-rated SOLAS transponder that also serves as a navigational safety aid on rivers and inland waterways. Providing captains with added safety in multiple cruising situations, the Nauticast-INLAND AIS is functionally two transponders in one.

The Nauticast-INLAND AIS includes the three-in-one graphical display with three different views at a fingertip, including alphanumeric radar and fairway views. This representation of the surrounding traffic scenario (also with different zoom levels) is a completely unique way of capturing and representing vessel data. Fully compliant with ECDIS connectivity, the Nauticast-INLAND AIS can be driven completely by remote control. The Nauticast-INLAND AIS is approved in the U.S. by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Federal Communications Commission and worldwide by Wheelmark (MED) and CCS (China Classification Society).
