Outlines

Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a maritime navigation and radio communication system.
This system intends to enhance the safety of life at sea, the safety and efficiency of navigation
and the protection of the marine environment by communicating navigational information
automatically on VHF channels between ship and ship, ship and shore.
JHS-182 meets the requirements of the SOLAS Conventions for the Class A shipborne
equipment of the universal AIS. JHS-182 mainly consists of AIS Transponder, Connection Box
and AIS Controller. The combined antenna and transponder design allows installation at any
convenient location on any vessels. The small and simple design controller allows easy
installation and operation. Moreover, easy equipment that connects a connection box and these
each equipments by one cable is designed. JHS-182 employs the latest technologies such as
digital signal processing, circuit integration technology, and these technologies ensure high
performance and high reliability.
