Position Information Source
The marine AIS system uses position information derived from networks such as the Global
Positioning Satellite (GPS) or the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) in order to
determine the location of the AIS unit and thus the vessel to which it is fitted. The
NAUTICAST B2 utilizes the GPS satellite network.
