AISnet+ is a new enhanced version of our popular AISnet AIS base station receiver. Both models will continue to be available but AISnet+ features some new, unique interfacing capabilities.
Both devices are fitted with a network/RJ45 interface. They are designed for installation on shore side facilities such as ports, marinas or platforms for connection to the internet via a suitable router. Local AIS traffic decoded by the AISnet receiver can then be sent to AIS internet providers such as Marine Traffic and AISLive.
The new AISnet+ device brings new connectivity options with a sophisticated internal router allowing for Open VPN connections and wireless connectivity as well as via a LAN cable. Like the AISnet receiver, it has also has a USB interface for a local PC or MAC. Open VPN allows for secure AISnet to server communications for high reliability and security – its ideal for military applications.
AISnet+uses the very latest generation, high sensitivity dual channel AIS receiver for the best possible receiver performance. Both Class A and Class B transmissions are fully decoded including ATONs, SARTs and other specialist AIS signals. Indicator lights are now built in showing receiver and network status.
AISnet+ ships with a 110/220V AC adaptor (with universal plug adaptors for global markets) and a simple to use configuration application/CD for both PC and MAC. It can also be powered from 12V DC. It is available now priced at £1000 plus VAT where applicable ($1600/EUR1400)
Can this unit be used as an AIS Shore Station an broadcast messages as well?
Hi,
AISNet is an AIS base Station and its purpose is to receive only and cannot transmit any messages.
