The Marimatech CAT Basic is the world’s smallest battery-driven wireless AIS adapter with built-in GPS, built for Pilots. The unit is connected to the AIS pilot plug and sends AIS data to a PC or iPhone using Wi-Fi technology. This is a lightweight solution (450g) allowing pilots to easily access navigation data from the ship's GPS and gyro sensors and view it on a portable device to aid with navigation.
The CAT ROT is identical to the CAT Basic with a built-in ROT (Rate of Turn) sensor. This sensor will add decimal degrees to the Heading indication from the AIS Pilot Plug and provide reliable ROT. This means that prediction accuracy will be significantly enhanced; a very useful tool, normally only found in considerably more expensive pilot navigation systems.
The CAT Basic and CAT ROT deliver the AIS data to the Pilots PC in standard AIS format, so the Pilot may use any Piloting or navigation software to display the ships data. Atlantas Marine offer the Marimatech 'E-Sea Guide Software' as an option. E-Sea Guide is the software supplied with the more sophisticated 'E-sea Fix product range'. Esea Guide software is written by 7Seas, who are owned by the UKHO .
