Telecommunication Networks
AIS
Network Summary
The AIS (Automatic Identification System) communication network, when paired with GSatTrack, offers a powerful solution for maritime tracking and monitoring. This integration enhances situational awareness by providing real-time data from vessels equipped with AIS transponders, enabling comprehensive insights into vessel movements. AIS is a widely recognized VHF communication system that satellites can receive, ensuring subscribers benefit from global coverage. Together, GSatTrack and AIS improve maritime operators' safety and operational efficiency.
