The long-range tracking solution’s requirements:

The ship must have a PC with a satellite Internet connection.
The ship must have an installed AIS transponder.
AIS transponder must be connected to the PC.

If you like this solution but do not have a satellite Internet connection on your ships, contact us and we will provide you a similar (even cheaper) solution based on the other type of satellite communication system.

How to make it work in 5 minutes:

Download and install SiiTech AIS Server Lite (see Downloads page)
Connect your working AIS transponder to the computer through a serial or network interface
Specify in SiiTech AIS Server Lite the type of connection to your AIS device
Start AIS Server Lite
See the ship position on http://vtslite.siitech.com/VTSLite

Note: If your COM port connection is using settings other than default ones, you will have to change the default settings accordingly. If you are using a network AIS device, you will have to specify its TCP address and port number.

The solution supports S57 and BSB nautical charts, Open Street, Virtual Earth and Google maps.
