It doesn't take much to operate an AIS station. More important than technical knowledge or experience with such hardware is the desire to do something meaningful for the maritime community. Installing the hardware is not complicated and, with our help, anyone can do it.
A successful AIS partner typically has:
A high altitude location with clear visibility of the horizon.
Space to mount an antenna.
A reliable internet and power connection.
The willingness to keep the AIS receiver in operation.
