AIS Receivers and Transceivers
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.

AIS FEATURES
TRANSMIT YOUR POSITION
Fitting a Class A or Class B AIS transceiver ensures that you are seen by other AIS equipped vessels.
VESSEL PROTECTION
As part of a suitably configured network, AIS enables owners to be alerted to unauthorised vessel movements.
PORT MANAGEMENT
AIS can be used as a highly effective port management tool allowing easy identification, control and direction of vessels.
COASTAL SURVEILLANCE
AIS and radar can be fused to create effective and efficient coastal tracking, surveillance and safety systems.

TYPES OF AIS
There are three types of AIS products:
RECEIVE-ONLY AIS
- Inexpensive and low-powered
- Receive and see other vessels Class A and Class B data on Raymarine MFD radar and/or chartplotter
CLASS A AIS
- Required for IMO/SOLAS commercial vessels
- Class A transmits and receives the full set of AIS information
CLASS B AIS
- For small commercial vessels and pleasure vessels that do not need to comply with IMO/SOLAS regulations
- Transmits shortened/simplified AIS information at a slightly less frequent rate than Class A
- Less AIS functionality than Class A
- Uses lower transmission power
