AIS

Product catalog summary

Introduction to AIS: The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a crucial safety feature in marine navigation, particularly beneficial for vessels operating in busy waterways. It functions as a collision avoidance technology by broadcasting a vessel's speed, course, and identity to other AIS-equipped vessels and base stations.

AIS Transceivers: AIS transceivers, also known as transponders, automatically receive and broadcast static and dynamic data. They are mandatory for vessels over 300 gross tonnes and smaller passenger ships under SOLAS and GMDSS regulations. The AIST120 model acts as an electronic beacon, transmitting vessel information and receiving data from other vessels and navigation aids.

AIS Receivers: AIS receivers collect transmissions from AIS transceivers and display them on compatible devices. They do not transmit vessel information but enhance situational awareness by identifying other traffic and hazards.

AIS Base Stations and Aids to Navigation (AtoN): Base stations monitor traffic and facilitate communication between ships and shore. AtoNs are transceivers on buoys or hazards that transmit their ID and location, sometimes including dynamic data like weather conditions.

Installation and Connectivity: The AIST120 transceiver features an internal GPS antenna and supports external GPS antenna connections. It interfaces with NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 for integration with chart plotters and communication networks. The AISS120 antenna splitter allows a single VHF antenna to serve both AIS and VHF radio without signal loss.

Pro-AIS Software: This software is used to program the AIS transceiver with vessel details and includes diagnostic tools for monitoring AIS targets.

Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for the AIST120 transceiver, AISR120 receiver, and AISS120 antenna splitter, including dimensions, power requirements, frequency ranges, and environmental conditions.

Optional Accessories: Various accessories are available, including external GPS antennas and different types of VHF antenna whips.

AIS What is ? One of the most important safety features and fastest growth areas in marine Navigation is AIS - Automatic Identification System. This collision avoidance technology is particularly valuable to boaters who regularly travel or fish in busy waterways or near major shipping routes. Having an operating AIS transponder onboard will turn your boat into a visible radio beacon indicating your speed, course and identity to other AIS equipped vessels or base stations. An AIS receiver will allow you to track other AIS traffic in the area and identify ‘Aids to Navigation’ (AtoN) even when not...
