Ideal for use at home or in the office, AIS Net is a base station receiver that utilises the same high performance dual channel AIS receiver as the rest of the Digital Yacht range. Nowadays, there are many websites which offer a view of AIS equipped vessels on a background chart, allowing users to check the position and identity of ships and yachts. If your home or office is close to the coast, you can contribute your data to one of these sites. Simply register with the company, and they will give you an IP address and port number.
Using the setup program supplied by Digital Yacht, it takes seconds to program the IP address and port into AISnet, which will immediately start sending your local AIS data seamlessly across the internet to be displayed on the site. Data that AISnet is collecting can also be viewed locally on your PC using the free SmarterTrack Lite software. Plug the USB connector into your PC and AIS data will appear on your PC, whilst also transmitting over the internet. AISnet also features an ethernet socket that can connect to a broadband router to send data to online AIS tracking services.
