Automatic Information System (AIS) Workshop
While initially intended for commercial use, the last 15 years have seen AIS develop into a must have addition for recreational boats as well. By adding an AIS receiver or transceiver (aka AIS transponder) to your boats marine network, it is possible to see vessels in real time on your chartplotter, computer navigation system or even mobile devices such as iPads. If you install an AIS transponder on your boat, other vessels including commercial vessels can see you on their navigation systems.
Dougs talk will cover the basics of AIS, how it works, the various AIS devices and an overview of the steps for adding AIS to your vessels navigation systems which will include system prerequisites, wiring examples and how to configure your displays to use AIS. We will also cover how AIS can be used in mobile apps, man overboard scenarios, vessel tracking and more.
