Description
The Ocean Signal App allows easy access to Class B AIS and Emergency PLB/EPIRB information.
Live AIS targets can be displayed as well as Test and Ownership details for Distress Beacons.
NFC (Near Field Communication) allows access to PLB and EPIRB details where operation time, Battery condition and test results can be easily checked and displayed on a mobile device.
The use of NFC ensures that maximum battery capacity can be ensured giving you confidence that a Beacon will give maximum performance when required in an emergency situation.
WiFi connection to the Ocean Signal ATB1 gives access to live AIS target data along with status and performance details. Initial configuration with vessel details for the ATB1 Class B AIS is also carried out via the WiFi connection.

Ratings and Reviews
Impossible to use without phone signal
Initially setup my AIS using this app which was easy and straightforward, however I am now trying to connect my iPad as well and it’s impossible.
My iPad does not have a cellular connection (it’s capable but no SIM card is installed) in order to connect to the AIS I need to be on the AIS Wi-Fi network, but in order to authenticate the connection, I need to hotspot to my phone to get internet, and I obviously cannot be on both networks at the same time.
If you needed to reconfigure this device whilst at sea, away from an internet connection you would be unable to do so, this is a serious issue and needs to be addressed ASAP.
Awful piece of AIS equipment
Will not Wi-Fi with my cellular iPad at all. Have spent many hours with sim. Same error messages. I have managed a connection with my iPhone 12 but AIS data is incomplete and no vessel names shown. Just MIMS number.
Tried speaking to ocean signal and they sheepishly admitted they know this. Sent first back for warranty claim. Second arrived and same issue
