Ais Base Station - Ais Bs 600

AIS BS600
AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM - BASE STATION
The AIS BS600 is the new and fourth generation RoHS compatible AIS Base Station from Kongsberg
Seatex with built-in storage capability, sensitivity better than -115 dBm, software defined radio (SDR) and a
smooth design of a 2U 19” rack mountable platform. The BS600 is designed and tested in accordance with
all relevant international standards including: IEC 62320-1 and ITU M-1371-4.
The AIS Base Station is the primary component in an AIS AIS BS600 units will operate autonomously in such a configu-
