Norcontrol IT Develops 3rd Generation AIS Network Software

Norcontrol IT has developed its 3rd generation of AIS network infrastructure software. New functionality has been integrated into the previous version, to provide AIS operators with more access and greater control of the data transmitted via the AIS network. The new software also provides greater tools for technicians and system administrators.
AIS has been a key issue in the marine industry since before the millennium, with deadlines passed now for the majority of commercial vessels to carry and use AIS. Shore based AIS networks have been in progress around the world for several years, and have been implemented in some respects in response to the ISPS code, to enable Vessel Traffic
Services (VTS) to make the best use of AIS data to improve safety, security and efficiency.
