Description
AIS Receiver
Meet the HS-MX6206GT, a next-generation, high-performance AIS receiver terminal engineered for the future of maritime operations. Designed specifically for integration into unmanned systems (UAVs/USVs) and advanced maritime situational awareness platforms, it delivers robust and reliable AIS data reception. With its high sensitivity and intelligent data parsing, it provides critical vessel tracking information for a safer, more connected maritime environment.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Sensitivity Reception: Achieves exceptional sensitivity (<-119dBm) for capturing AIS signals at long ranges, even in challenging conditions.
- Dual-Channel Operation: Simultaneously monitors both standard AIS channels (AIS1 & AIS2) to ensure no data is missed.
- Plug-and-Play Operation: Requires no complex configuration. It starts outputting parsed AIS data immediately upon power-up.
- Robust & Compact Design: Featuring an 8-pin aviation connector and a rugged form factor (104mm x 76mm x 32mm), it is built for reliable operation in demanding environments.
- Low Power Consumption: Optimized for power-sensitive applications like drones and portable stations, operating at just 150mA @12V.
- Standard Data Output: Provides AIS data via a 3.3V TTL serial port in standard NMEA0183 format for easy system integration.

FAQs
No, the HS-MX1203GT module itself does not have a built-in GPS. It requires an external active GPS/BeiDou antenna connected via its MCX-female connector to obtain its own position, which is essential for transmitting AIS messages.
The module ships with generic factory settings. You must configure it with your vessel's specific MMSI number, name, and call sign using our provided AIS CONFIGURATION PC software and a TTL-to-USB adapter cable. Once configured, these details are stored in the module.
Yes. The module features a SILENT pin. By pulling this pin low (to GND), you can disable AIS transmission for privacy or in security-sensitive areas while continuing to receive AIS data from other vessels.
You need two separate VHF antennas:
A dedicated GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou active antenna for the GPS port.
Using high-quality, properly installed antennas is critical for optimal performance.
A dedicated AIS VHF antenna for the VHF port.
Yes. We provide comprehensive documentation for integrators, including:
