AIS Long Range Solution

AIS Long Range Solution is based on SiiTech AIS Server and SiiTech Web VTS products and provides an affordable long-range fleet traffic monitoring and management system for shipping companies.

The Internet-based long-range online AIS vessel traffic monitoring and management system assists shipping companies to:

• Control its fleet in real time anywhere, even in the middle of the ocean
• Investigate accidents (the unlimited history replay function)
• Receive Actual Time of Arrival notification at any predefined zone
• Receive Actual Time of Departure notification at any predefined zone
• Obtain Actual Berth Time
• Calculate an Estimated Time of Arrival to any desired point or points
• Send messages to AIS equipped ship
• Receive messages from AIS equipped ship
• Create sophisticated reports
• Alert alarms
• Make decisions in operational actions

The long-range tracking solution’s requirements:

1. The ship must have a PC with a satellite Internet connection.
2. The ship must have an installed AIS transponder.
3. AIS transponder must be connected to the PC.

If you like this solution but do not have a satellite Internet connection on your ships, contact us and we will provide you a similar (even cheaper) solution based on the other type of satellite communication system.

How to make it work in 5 minutes:

1. Download and install SiiTech AIS Server Lite from the following link: www.siitech.com/downloads/AisServer/AisServerLiteSetup.msi
2. Connect your working AIS transponder to the computer through a serial or network interface
3. Specify in SiiTech AIS Server Lite the type of connection to your AIS device
4. Start AIS Server Lite
5. See the ship position on http://www.siitech.net/VTSLite

Note: If your COM port connection is using settings other than default ones, you will have to change the default settings accordingly. If you are using a network AIS device, you will have to specify its TCP address and port number.

 The solution supports Virtual Earth, Google, MapPoint maps, and BSB nautical charts.
