Digital Yacht AISnet AIS Base Station

The Digital Yacht AISnet AIS Base Station is a professional-grade maritime surveillance receiver designed for coastal operations, port security, and fleet monitoring from fixed installations. Built for law enforcement, military, and commercial maritime operators, the AISnet decodes Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals—the same transponder data broadcast by commercial vessels worldwide—and establishes a persistent monitoring capability at your command center, operations base, or office location. This standalone base station eliminates dependency on mobile platforms and provides continuous, reliable vessel tracking across operational areas.

The AISnet leverages Digital Yacht's proven dual-channel AIS receiver architecture, the same high-performance technology deployed across their tactical product suite. The integrated ethernet socket allows seamless network integration with existing command-and-control systems, SCADA infrastructure, or maritime domain awareness platforms without additional interface hardware. At just 3 pounds and measuring 13 x 4 x 18 inches, the compact form factor accommodates tight mounting spaces typical of operations centers, communication shelters, or vehicle installations. The receiver's sensitivity and dual-channel design ensure reliable signal acquisition across the full VHF maritime band, capturing both Class A and Class B AIS broadcasts within effective range.

Personnel in coastal security, port authority operations, naval logistics, and inter-agency maritime enforcement benefit most from static base station deployment where continuous monitoring requirements demand always-on capability. Installation requires only AC power and ethernet connection to your network infrastructure; antenna placement at elevation maximizes reception reliability. The AISnet integrates with standard maritime charting software, vessel traffic management systems, and custom monitoring applications via standard AIS data protocols, making it the preferred choice for operations requiring persistent maritime situational awareness without vessel-mounted platform constraints.
