How AIS Work?
A Broadcast system that acts like a
transponder, operating in the VHF
maritime band, that is capable of handling
well over 4,500 reports per minute and
updates as often as every two seconds. It
uses Self-Organizing Time Division
Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology to
meet this high broadcast rate and ensure
reliable ship-to-ship cooperation.
