Introducing Even Smarter Connectivity: The Latest Updates to our A027+ AIS Receiver
Feb
We’re excited to announce major enhancements to our A027+ NMEA 2000 AIS Receiver, making an already powerful marine navigation tool even more capable and future-ready.
Our A027+ has always been known for its robust AIS and GPS reception, high-range marine tracking, and flexible output options (including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB and NMEA-2000) all wrapped up in commercial-grade reliability.
Now, with our latest updates, it delivers smarter data delivery and easier device control than ever before.
Forward Your Data Anywhere – Remote IP Forwarding
One of the standout improvements is the ability to forward live AIS/GPS and NMEA data to a remote IP address.
🔹 This means you can now stream navigation data off your vessel to a remote server or monitoring system over the internet.
🔹 Whether you’re running a shore station, analysing traffic patterns from afar, or integrating with cloud-based analytics, this feature keeps you connected beyond your local network.
This is ideal for commercial operators, research facilities, or fleet managers who require real-time vessel information to be accessible in a central location.
Intuitive Web-Based Configuration & Future Updates
Gone are the days of relying exclusively on local software tools for setup. The A027+ now includes a simple web-based interface for configuration, giving you:
🔹Easy access to settings from any web browser – (accessible via Laptop, PC, Mac or mobile phone)
🔹A unified, user-friendly experience for setup and network management
🔹A platform to support future enhancements and firmware updates
This improvement streamlines the way users set up and maintain their units — whether onboard or remotely. It’s a big step toward making configuration more accessible and less dependent on specialised software.
Same Rugged Performance, Enhanced Flexibility
Despite these updates, the core A027+ strengths remain unchanged:
🔹Dual-channel AIS reception with GPS integration
🔹Up to 40 nautical miles range
🔹Multiplexed NMEA data across multiple outputs including NMEA 0183, NMEA-2000, Wi-Fi, USB and Ethernet
🔹Plug-and-play compatibility with chart plotters and marine software across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux
What This Means for You
These new features deliver greater control, superior long-range connectivity, and a smoother configuration experience, empowering users to:
🔹Centralise data for fleet or shore monitoring
🔹Integrate AIS/GPS into enterprise systems
🔹Reduce setup complexity
🔹Prepare for future software expansions
