VDL 60000/FASS
VDL 6000/FASS (Fixed AIS Station System)

C.N.S. Systems introduces an extremely fl exible
product for AIS shore station operation, the VDL
6000/FASS.

Our VDL 6000/FASS can easily be confi gured
according to specifi c customer needs, from
a basic unit to a fully redundant system with
an embedded controller providing extensive
processing and logging functionality.

Independent of the confi guration, our VDL 6000/
FASS is an excellent choice and offers great
performance and quality at a very attractive price.
To be able to guarantee a cost- effective solution
our VDL 6000/FASS is remotely controlled and
also the software can be remotely updated.

The system includes one or two fi xed AIS
stations, each corresponding to a Physical
Shore Station (PSS) as defi ned by IALA A-124.

     

The optional embedded controller offers
functions such as:

• possibility to defi ne specifi c data fi lter criteria
• log data locally in the shore station.
• SNMP agent for network management
• AIS messages for virtual Aids to Navigation.

The VDL 6000/FASS is the perfect choice for
the maritime authority implementing an AIS
network, but it is also suitable for stand-alone
operation at a VTS or a port.

The benefi t of AIS is not limited to the
surveillance aspects; it is also possible to offer
dedicated services to the increasing number of
ships equipped with an AIS transponder.

Our VDL 6000/FASS together with our customer
specifi c software package is a guarantee for a
cost-effective total solution.
