Even the AIS receiver called Seanexx in the form of a USB stick is interesting. The compact housing contains either a genuine dual-channel AIS receiver or a multiplex AIS receiver that alternately scans the two AIS frequencies in combination with a GPS/Glonass/Beidou receiver.

The USB stick becomes even more universal with the mini Wi-Fi router also offered by FT-Tec. This also transfers the AIS data to smartphones and tablets via Wi-Fi. Power is supplied from a standard USB battery pack. The AIS receiver and router are designed to run for 20 hours on the rechargeable battery included in the mobile AIS set.
