Product details
Description and Specifications
MDA-2 Metadata Dual Channel AIS Receiver
Utilizes a compact (5.5"X3.9"X1.9") module that is IPx7 Waterproof rated, for flexible location and rugged performance in any marine environment.
The new Metadata Dual Channel AIS Receiver module features the next generation Rmax AIS technology, with lightning-fast processing to maximize reception range and ensure that all incoming AIS messages are received and fully decoded in real time. This overcomes performance issues with yesterday's first generation AIS systems in real-world marine situations - and the advantages of Rmax technology will become even more important as the number of AIS-equipped vessels increases in the future. Designed for plug-and-play integration with chart plotters, radars, onboard PCs and other marine electronics, the Metadata Dual Channel AIS Receiver has built-in NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 interfaces, as well as a USB interface that can be used to power the device.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
When will my order ship?
For in-stock items, orders placed by 4:00 PM EST are eligible to ship the same day. If any item in the order is not currently in stock, shipment timing will depend on availability.
What is your return window?
Eligible merchandise may be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before anything is sent back. For the smoothest experience, we ask customers to contact Salina Vita first so we can coordinate the request properly. Returned merchandise must be complete, in its original packaging, and in resalable condition. Items that arrive incomplete, improperly packed, or not suitable for resale may not qualify for return approval.
Are restocking fees possible?
Yes. Approved returns may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. Non-stock items may not be returned. In addition, opened or unsealed DVDs, CDs, and cartography products are non-returnable unless defective. If the product falls into CWR’s excluded media categories—such as opened or unsealed cartography, DVDs, or CDs—it is not returnable unless defective.
If my unit needs warranty service, should I send it back to Salina Vita?
No. Units requiring service, whether under warranty or otherwise, should be returned directly to the appropriate manufacturer, not to Salina Vita. We are always happy to help guide you to the correct manufacturer support path. Absolutely. While the service destination is the manufacturer, we can help you identify the proper support channel and make the process feel more straightforward and well-managed. Units that require service themselves, however, should go directly to the manufacturer under CWR’s policy.
I still have more Questions, can we contact you?
At Salina Vita, we believe premium marine commerce should feel measured, transparent, and reassuring. If you have a question about a shipment, return eligibility, or manufacturer service, contact us before taking the next step and we will guide you with the discretion and clarity your vessel deserves.
