1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 MANDO-301/303 Overview
Aids to Navigation (AtoN) AIS is one of the latest applications of AIS technology. The AIS AtoN
transponder can be installed in lighthouse, lantern, buoy, other fixed and floating aids, or offshore
platforms to transmit warning, navigational, and meteorological data to approaching vessels and/or
to shore stations. AMEC offers two types of AIS AtoN: MANDO-301 (Type 1) and MANDO-303
(Type 3).
Type 1 (MANDO- 301) – It transmits on FATDMA slots given in its configuration and has
no receiver. The FATDMA slots must be pre-configured by base station.
