AIS: See and be seen.

Stentec offers several different AIS systems. When you fill out this questionnaire you will receive the recommended AIS system according to your answers.

 Length of your ship

What is the length of your ship?

Less than 20 meters 20 meters or more
Length: 20 meters or more.

The length of your ship is 20 meters or more. According to the rules of the Dutch Rijkswaterstaat, you are required to use AIS type A. We do not sell these types of AIS.

 Internal splitter

An AIS device transmits and receives AIS signals via a VHF antenna. Many of you have already installed a VHF antenna on your boat, which is often connected to your radio. This antenna can be used for both radio and your AIS equipment using an internal splitter. Disconnect the VHF antenna from your radio and connect it to the AIS. An additional cable is placed between the AIS and your radio. Through filtering and amplification of the signal you receive all VHF messages as usual.

Of course you can always place a seperate VHF antenna, even if you have an AIS device with internal splitter.

Do you want to use your current VHF antenna for your AIS device?

Yes No
 Data transfer via Wifi

The AIS can be connected using a USB cable to your laptop or onboard PC or via a serial cable to your plotter.

It is also possible to opt for an AIS device with Wi-Fi. It allows you to connect wirelessly with your laptop, onboard PC, tablet or smartphone.

Additional to USB and Serial connection, would you like to connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi?

Yes No

Additional to USB and Serial connection, would you like to connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi?

Option not available.
GPS Antenna

An AIS transponder always needs a seperate GPS antenna. The advantage of a internal GPS receiver is not having to install a loose GPS receiver and extra cables. Is your ship made of metal, you will need an external GPS antenna which needs to be installed on the outside of your ship.

Do you want an internal or external GPS antenna?
