MMS Proxy directs maritime communications to exchange data and messages between authorized maritime stakeholders (maritime administrations, port management, ship crew, etc.) in an efficient, reliable, and seamless manner.
4G Above Deck Unit is a modem that allows for connection with MMS Proxy via AIS 2.0(VDES) or 4G network when being near shore.
Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is yet another participant in the Worldwide AIS 2.0 demo project – the world’s most ambitious maritime digitalization project and is now ready to test AIS 2.0 and selected maritime services.

About AIS 2.0 (VDES):
- it is the new communication solution to implement the e-Navigation strategy
- AIS 2.0 is an extension to AIS, adding two-way data channels over VHF
- by using special satellite channels (up and down), every ship with a VHF antenna will be able to communicate globally
