    R40
    AIS Base Station

    The R40 Base Station from Saab Trans-


    ponderTech is the main component of a
    Physical AIS Shore Station as defined by
    IALA. Its main purpose is to receive data
    from and transmit data to AIS equipped
    vessels, travelling within the coverage
    area of the Base Station. This will give
    the possibility to monitor and follow ship
    movements in an efficient way. The R40 is
    installed either stand-alone or integrated
    in a network, such as the market leading
    Saab AIS Network.
