System overview
Introduction
The B&G V90 VHF radio is a comprehensive solution for marine VHF
radio applications.
The radio comprises:

In addition to routine ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore VHF
communications, the V90 has many advanced features, including:

radio to share information with other onboard devices, such as a
GPS antenna, a chartplotter or a multi-function display.

calling individual vessels using their Maritime Mobile Service Identity
(MMSI). Also includes a track buddy function.
• Automatic Identification System (AIS) for monitoring nearby vessels
(receive only).
• Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) function for
controlled VHF communications in European inland waterways (EU
models).
