Operating in the VHF maritime band, the AIS (Automatic Identification System) system enables the wireless exchange of navigation status between vessels and shore-side traffic monitoring centers. Commercial ships, ocean-going vessels and recreational boats equipped with AIS transceivers broadcast AIS messages that include the vessel's name, course, speed and current navigation status.
Fitting a Class A or Class B AIS transceiver ensures that you are seen by other AIS equipped vessels.
As part of a suitably configured network, AIS enables owners to be alerted to unauthorised vessel movements.
AIS can be used as a highly effective port management tool allowing easy identification, control and direction of vessels.
AIS and radar can be fused to create effective and efficient coastal tracking, surveillance and safety systems.
