VDL 6000/FASS (Fixed AIS Station System)

C.N.S. Systems introduces an extremely flexible product for AIS shore station operation, the VDL 6000/FASS.

Our VDL 6000/FASS can easily be confgured according to specif c customer needs, from a basic unit to a fully redundant system with an embedded controller providing extensive processing and logging functionality.

Independent of the conf guration, our VDL 6000/ FASS is an excellent choice and offers great performance and quality at a very attractive price.

To be able to guarantee a cost- effective solution our VDL 6000/FASS is remotely controlled and also the software can be remotely updated.The system includes one or two f xed AIS stations, each corresponding to a Physical
Shore Station (PSS) as def ned by IALA A-124.

ais5The optional embedded controller offers
functions such as:

  • possibility to def ne specif c data f lter criteria
  • log data locally in the shore station.
  • SNMP agent for network management
  • AIS messages for virtual Aids to Navigation.

The VDL 6000/FASS is the perfect choice for the maritime authority implementing an AIS network, but it is also suitable for stand-alone operation at a VTS or a port.

The beneft of AIS is not limited to the surveillance aspects; it is also possible to offer dedicated services to the increasing number of ships equipped with an AIS transponder.

Our VDL 6000/FASS together with our customer specif c software package is a guarantee for a cost-effective total solution.
