Double-A Payload Module APRS + AIS
APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) enables real-time repeat* or forward
positioning and data of ground tracking equipments, such as vehicles, animals, etc.
AIS (Automatic Identification System) Receiver payload will pick up vessels
position that use an AIS A/B channels transponder.
APRS / AIS dual payload module, effectively tracks and collects a large
number of land and sea (surface) objects to achieve acquisition of APRS / AIS
data globally.
*Real-time repeat: This optional function is disabled. The packet data real time repeater function is
determined by frequency coordination and project application.
In the figure shown on the right, the data collect function could be configurable for
repeater or store-forward to the ground station.
The Double-A (APRS / AIS) payload "Real Time Repeater" / "Store & Forwarding" applications are:
■ APRS - Vehicle and vessels positioning with data collection
■ APRS - Ecological & seismic / tracking & detection: birds, animals, landslides
■ APRS - Ocean windmills, widespread area power grid management
■ AIS - Sea surface drifts, ocean current tracking and tide wave change monitoring
