Description
Comar R450-XGE AIS Receiver | Professional Ethernet AIS Receiver with GNSS
The Comar R450-XGE AIS Receiver is a professional dual-channel network AIS receiver with integrated GNSS, Ethernet networking and USB connectivity. Designed for vessel tracking, shore stations, ports, marinas and fixed AIS monitoring systems, it provides reliable AIS and positioning data over secure wired network infrastructure without WiFi.
The R450-XGE is particularly suited to ports, marinas, coastal monitoring stations, vessel tracking websites and government AIS monitoring networks requiring reliable Ethernet-based data distribution.
Professional AIS Monitoring with Integrated GNSS
The Comar R450-XGE AIS Receiver is designed for professional vessel monitoring applications where reliable AIS reception and accurate GNSS positioning data are required over a secure Ethernet network. Built around Comar’s proven dual-channel AIS receiver platform, the R450-XGE continuously monitors both AIS frequencies simultaneously for dependable vessel detection within VHF range.
With Ethernet and USB connectivity, the unit can feed AIS and GNSS data to PCs, local servers, monitoring software, tracking websites and centralised marine traffic systems. The wired-only design makes it a practical option where WiFi is not required or where a controlled network installation is preferred.

Ethernet AIS Receiver for Wired Network Integration
The R450-XGE uses a Lantronix XPort network module for Ethernet data output. This allows AIS and GNSS data to be distributed across local networks, sent to monitoring servers or forwarded to fixed IP addresses for centralised display and long-term data collection.
The absence of WiFi makes the R450-XGE a good match for wired installations where network control, reliability and simplicity are important. It is particularly useful for shore stations, ports, marinas and monitoring sites where Ethernet infrastructure is already available.
