R60 Aids-to-Navigation (AtoN) Station

    R60 Aids-to-Navigation (AtoN) Station

    The R60 Aids-to-Navigation (AtoN) Station is designed for marking offshore maritime installations, such as wind energy farms, navigational aids and hazards.

     Key Features

     Key Features

    • Best-in-class sensitivity - better than -118 dBm
    • Type 3 Aids-to-Navigation (AtoN) functionality (IEC 62320-2)
    • Reception of all applicable AIS messages
    • Supports reporting of up to 30 virtual or synthetic AtoNs

    Marking of Navigational Aids and Isolated Dangers

    Designed for marking offshore maritime installations such as wind energy farms, navigational aids and hazards, the R60 AtoN is a valuable tool in increasing situational awareness and efficiency of operations and safety. It receives AIS data from all units within the VHF coverage area and transmits information of navigational aids and isolated dangers within the same area. 

    Cutting Edge Design for Future-Ready Operations 

    The R60 AtoN Station is built on TransponderTech's latest generation of electronics and radio design, representing the pinnacle of innovation in the field of AIS and VDES technology. It fully supports AIS AtoN operations and is also prepared for future VDES AtoN functionality. 

    Superior AIS Sensitivity for Extended Coverage Range

    The R60 AtoN Station provides an outstanding AIS sensitivity of -118 dBm, significantly exceeding the requirements in international standards and regulations, providing a dramatically improved receiving coverage range. 

    Remote Configuration and Operation

    Remote Configuration and Operation

    The R60 AtoN Station is equipped with three Ethernet/LAN interfaces to connect to other equipment or data networks and allows for remote power control of the AtoN Station. The R60 AtoN Station has a built in WEB-server for more advanced configuration, monitoring and remote updates. 

    The R60 AtoN Station also has a built in NTP-server option, to support local time synchronisation for LAN connected equipment. Furthermore, it supports extensive possibilities for VDL analysis via FSR/VSI-message information, giving details such as Received Signal Strength, Time of Arrival and Signal to Noise Ratio. 

    A colour touch display allows for simple monitoring and configuration.

    Key Functions

    Key Functions

    • Electronic AIS marking of offshore maritime installations, such as wind energy farms, navigational aids and isolated hazards. 
    • All vessels equipped with AIS will receive information indicating the marked area and the location of the offshore installations or hazards.
    • Integration with meteorological sensors for local distribution of water data.
    • Local vessel AIS monitoring to track own work boats within the location, as well as vessels entering or leaving area of operation.
    • Remote monitoring of vessel activity within the area, if a network connection to the AtoN Station is available.
