AISLive Installation Kit

The AIS Live Installation Kit provides all of the equipment required for adding a new station to the system. The package combines all of the hardware and software needed to connect your port to the AISLive network. All that is required locally is a power source, a high outdoor location (ideally 30 metres+ above sea level) to place the VHF antenna and a permanent connection to the Internet. Once connected and configured the received information will be displayed on AISLive.com

1. AIS receiver. This is a passive, receive only unit for which no frequency permit or transmission license is required. We currently supply the AIS-CTRX dual channel AIS receiver. New long range AIS receivers are also available, please call us to discuss this option.
