This improves rescue times if you should experience a Mob situation because the AISLink CB2 AIS transponder transmits every 5 seconds verses older Class B AIS of once every 30 seconds. The CB2 also transmits 5 watts of power while the older Class B AIS only transmit at 2 watts, broadcasting to larger area for improved visibility.
