An AIS Base Station is a critical item within all maritime and waterway operations. The AIS Base Station is the primary component in an AIS Physical Shore Station (PSS).
Base Stations form the back bone of any coastal AIS network. It receives and communicates AIS data from all AIS sources such as AIS mobile stations, other AIS Base Stations, AIS Aids to Navigation units, Search and Rescue units etc, within the VHF coverage area.
The AIS system provides a valuable tool to increase the situation awareness, the efficiency of operations and safety. Experience shows that the workload for operators involved in vessel tracking and monitoring is considerably decreased after the introduction of AIS.
It's exceptional AIS monitoring performance ensures the processing of all received AIS transmissions and message types.
The SRT AIS Coast Station enables reliable real-time track of all vessels at long range.
Functionality includes its integrated network intelligence with multi-IP address data streaming, support for both transmission and network encryption, transmission of multiple virtual and synthetic AIS AtoN and customised broadcast and vessel specific addressed messages.
The SRT AIS Coast Station provides the ultimate real time long-range AIS network monitoring solution.
