Handheld AIS Base Station Device Marine Field Testing & Signal Verification For Buoy Inspection
A rechargeable AIS AtoN base station is perfect for channel markers
and solar navigation lights
Unlike traditional AIS base stations, the DX081PB enables users to inspect all beacons and AtoNs in a given area from the shore, eliminating the need for vessel boarding. Its compact design and real-time data access enable teams to identify specific device issues and schedule targeted maintenance, while its dual-mode AIS communication helps them to do so. This significantly reduces labour costs and downtime, while improving the accuracy of inspection routines.
Core advantages
- It enables the remote inspection of all AtoNs within range, without the need for a vessel.
- Access to real-time AIS data ensures precise fault detection and diagnostics.
- Compact and efficient, making it ideal for rapid deployment along coastlines.
- Dual-mode AIS communication ensures broad compatibility and accurate tracking.
- Cuts labour costs by eliminating the need for time-consuming manual inspection trips.
- Allows for smarter maintenance scheduling through targeted, device-level analysis.
