Remote configuration and operation

The AIS BS600 has several serial interfaces and multiple Ethernet/

LAN interfaces, making it easy to connect the base station to other

equipment or data networks. From the AIS Service Management

Application Suite a single AIS BS600. or a network of base stations,

can be remotely operated and maintained. The AIS BS600

supports configuration and firmware upgrade via a web interface.

All base station functions can be configured and effectuated via

this interface.

Hot standby

In order to obtain a very high level of service and availability, a

redundant base station configuration can be established. Two AIS

BS600 units will operate autonomously in such a configuration

without any additional hardware. In case of an automatic change

in the redundancy configuration, the control centre will be notified.

Sensitivity

Kongsberg Discovery has been developing satellite based AIS

receivers since 2010 and this space-based AIS technology

has strong focus on receiver sensitivity. The high sensitivity

performance has been incorporated in the AIS BS600. The

increased sensitivity exceeds the requirements in international

standards and regulations, and is an incredible enhancement

in terms of signal reception, greatly increasing the offered base

station range.
