i-ais-STA
Secure Class A AIS Transponder
Secure Communication over AIS Network
i-ais-STA AIS Transponder is a Class-A AIS mobile device, which provides secure communication functionality in addition to the standard AIS features.
i-ais-STA has three operating modes:
Active: Standard AIS mode (acts as a standard Class-A Transponder)
Passive: Receive only mode (only listens, without any transmission)
Protected: Secure mode (encrypts transmitted AIS data)
The secure mode of the i-ais-STA is provided with well known AES encryption algorithm.
The key for AES is loaded to the device with a special SW over serial communication channel.
- Operating modes (Active / Passive / Protected)
- 8 x RS-422 ports (IEC61162-2 comp.)
- Robust housing (IP66)
- Fully compliant with IEC and ITU standards
- RTCA/DO-160E compatibility
- Compatible with i-SEA Platform
