Jotron have since 2004 produced Automatic Identification System (AIS). AIS is a broadcast communication system operating in the VHF maritime band, capable of sending ship information to other ships and to shore. The Jotron AIS program consists of a full shipborne unit (TR-2500), a receiver only unit (RA-2500) and a base station unit (TR-2600).
- Tron UAIS TR-2500: VHF transponder exchanging ship information between ships
- AIS receiver RA-2600: VHF receiver monitors ship information within VHF range
- Tron AIS TR-2600: Base station controller - coastal surveillance system
- AIS Viewer: Software program presents data from transponder and receiver to PC
Purpose of AIS
• Automatic swap of navigational information on ship’s movements to predict dangerous situations
• Automatic swap of static information to facilitate ship-to-ship communication
• Interface to ship’s navigational equipment to increase information value
Implementation schedule of AIS
