WHAT IS AIS ?

The AIS system (Automatic Identification System) is a network which allows automatic exchange of data such as boat position, MMSI no., length/width/course etc... through the marine VHF digital network, provided that the boat is equipped with an AlS transponder.

The SOLAS convention requires that all freight and passenger vessels* sailing in AlS-nerworked waters must be equipped with the AIS capability.

Recreational boats can receive this kind of data through an Marine ais receiver and display the data on compatible navigation instruments, allowing better tracking of nearby traffic.

When connected to an optional AIS receiver, 8120 & 8084 multifunction units, TrackFish6507 Combo and GPS-Tracker5607 & 5507 can display the AIS data (NMEA0183 input).

*Vessels built after July 2002.

Why do you need to receive AIS information ?

Due to VHF's longer wavelength, AIS has particular use

in identifying targets that may be obscured by poor visibility,

or behind larger targets like low islands and large ships

that radar cannot penetrate.

We recommend that you upgrade your radar system

with an AIS installation if you cruise in very busy navigation i

How does AIS work ?

All AIS information is transmitted by vessels and AIS navigation aids equipped with VHF transponders, a unit capable to receive and transmit AIS data. Your AIS receiver "listens" to those transmissions. The receiver sends appropriate data to your AIS-chartplotter and is presented on your chart or on a full data screen ; you can also activate alarms.
