smartAIS technology
Vesper Marine has launched what it calls revolutionary new smartAIS technology which provides new capabilities to help make boating safer.
The new technology, when combined with Vesper Marine products, provides what Vesper calls, the world’s first black box AIS transponder with built-in safety alarms.
Unlike other manufacturer’s systems that simply send and receive AIS data, Vesper Marine said its smartAIS goes further. Because it is an active system with smart alarm logic, it proactively alerts boaters of potentially hazardous situations.
Putting users in control, smartAIS combines navigation sensor data, and GPS and AIS information, with intelligent alarm management that prioritises alarms for the most urgent response. This is technology that apparently no other AIS transponder is equipped with.
New Zealand based Vesper Marine specialises in creating marine safety products, with an specialty in AIS transponders and aids to navigation.
