AIT6000 Class B+ AIS Transponder
Nucleus Class B + AIS Transponder with SPAIS satellite AIS compatibility, alerts & an integrated NMEA 2000 wifi Gateway.
The AIT6000 is Digital Yacht’s Class B+ AIS transponder, set to replace the AIT5000. It retains all the features that made the AIT5000 successful—an integrated and patented ZeroLoss VHF antenna splitter, 5W SOTDMA transmissions, and NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, wireless, and USB interfaces—while introducing several major innovations:
SPAIS Satellite Tracking
The AIT6000 incorporates Digital Yacht’s latest SPAIS™ (space AIS) technology with AIS transmissions now enabled for reception by AIS satellites. This functionality can be easily enabled from the set up menu and will prioritise your AIS transmissions for satellite reception, ideal for offshore and ocean sailors.
Integrated NMEA 2000 Gateway
The AIT6000 has also been designed to become an onboard hub for navigation. It features NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 connectivity for modern navigation systems. It also has PC connectivity via USB and a wireless interface supporting up to 7 tablets or phones which can utilise the data for app integration.
AIT6000 adds a lot of interfacing capability through this WiFi interface with not just AIS and GPS data from the transponder being sent but also boat instrument data from the NMEA 2000 network thanks to its internal NMEA 2000 multiplexer – such as depth, heading, speed and wind information.
Built-In Collision & Anchor Alarms
The AIT6000 also has a built in interface accessible via any connected device for diagnostics, silence of AIS transmissions and also alerts for anchor drift and AIS closest point of approach (CPA) and time to CPA (TCPA).
These alarms can be monitored through the wireless interface with an attractive graphical display of current status or NMEA 2000 alerts can be sent over the NMEA 2000 network for pop up notifications or NavAlarm audible activations. This allows navigators to receive critical collision-avoidance warnings even when a chartplotter is not in use.
There is also a switched output on the AIT6000 power data cable which allows the alarm to attach to a sounder, relay or connect to a 3rd party system for alert activation.
Web Interface with Integrated Alarms
Installation is simple with an integrated and patented zero-loss VHF antenna splitter so the main VHF antenna is used for both AIS and VHF operation.

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.
