AIS Sistema de identificación automática:
AIS at Your Fingertips
In 2000, Nauticast took a fresh look at AIS when designing the
X-Pack DS Transponder under the premise of delighting todays AIS user
with tomorrows AIS technology. By surpassing the functional and
technological specifications in ease of operation and logical,
user-friendly menu navigation, the X-Pack DS simply invites the
seafarer to get acquainted.
Nauticast has taken AIS technology further and fully explored its
unifying properties and diverse application possibilities. The
underlying principle of AIS technology lies in the provision and
receipt of data from multiple sources. The Transponder sends, receives
and processes own vessel, other vessel, and shore-based navigation data
at as well as distributing it to all participants of an AIS network.
The Perfect Companion at Sea
The X-Pack is perfectly cut out for bridge integration. It blends in
neatly thanks to its compact design – it’s the world of AIS, held in
one hand!. Its task is to be seen, but not heard. The X-Pack stays in
the background, automatically and continuously transmitting vessel
type, course, destination, cargo and more. It is thoroughly
unobtrusive, yet remains continuously on the alert - only demanding
attention when an alarm or error message require action.
Safety First
Founded upon symbiotic AIS technology, the X-Pack DS Transponder
prominently features progress in safety of navigation through the
unification of navigational and communicational activities. Seafarers
have always wished to be informed about the activities of vessels in
their immediate vicinity - with the AIS Transponder, this wish has now
become fulfilled.
Being There
The X-Pack DS allows the user to take on the perspective of his
neighboring vessels, to see what they see, and to virtually participate
in their maneuvering activities. The Transponder can look around
corners – a very useful feature for inland waterway navigation, and see
through even the thickest fog. It is never interfered with by extreme
weather conditions or busy vessel traffic environments. All in all, it
is a horizon expanding experience; especially in combination with
electronic charts or radar systems.
Spacious, User-Friendly Keyboard
At Nauticast, the goal of designing a user-friendly AIS system was
coupled with placing especial focus on the messaging capabilities of
the Transponder. The X-Pack DS is therefore fitted with an unusually
generous keyboard, with each letter key spaciously spread, to ensure
that messaging is comfortable and problem free for the user. The
emergency SRM Button (Safety Related Messages), and MOB (Person over
Board) buttons are prominently placed on the top right hand corner of
the Transponder, within easy in case they are ever required.
Precision, Along with Flexibility
Precise traffic data is the sound basis for supporting flexible
navigation. The X-Pack DS collects, processes and conveys data from
various system sources. At Nauticast, we speak the maritime language
and our X-Pack DS formats AIS data in a clear, precise fashion so that
it is understood by all.
Quality
At Nauticast, we believe, that superior products and innovative
ideas demand constant reflection and development. Our AIS products
undergo stringent quality testing and have been awarded a great number
of international type approvals, With already 1.000 units out in the
market, the X-Pack DS is a tried and tested system, which has already
gained substantial market experience in this young market.
Our internal processes and outsourced
manufacturing facility at Siemens Austria AG are ISO 9001:2000
approved, therefore ensuring customer orientation and service
reliability.
This new generation Automatic Identification System (AIS) from Kelvin
Hughes provides the optimal AIS solution for use on all types of ships.
The NIS 2002 MkII is fully in compliance with international regulation
and standards as well as with national and class requirements. The NIS
2002 MkII Transponder consists of a combined radio transceiver unit,
GPS receiver, controller unit and a separate display (MKD) unit, complete with GPS and VHF antennas
The NIS 2002 MkII Transponder can easily be interfaced to the required
sensors on the bridge e.g. Gyro and GNSS. It as already been tested and
interfaced with most external navigation presentation systems on the
market (Radar, ECS/ECDIS).
The NIS 2002 MkII is prepared for connection to Long-Range systems like
Inmarsat C. It has a user-friendlyinterface for plotting of other ships
on a radar like display. It can also display information about other
vessels sorted by bearing or range. The display also handles the
sending/receiving of messages.
