The VDL 6000 AIS Class A System is compliant to the
International standards ITU M.1371-1 and IEC 61993-2
as applicable for SOLAS vessels.
The VDL 6000 is robustly designed with technology used
in C.N.S Systems civil aviation products with its
special demands on quality, performance, safety,
security and traceability.
The VDL 6000 system consists of three basic building
blocks: Transponder, MKD and Connection Unit
(including connecting cables). The system is
optionally delivered with antennas, antenna cables
and connectors.
The VDL 6000 system is based on a digital radio module,
high performance processors, robust software and a
compact design.
