Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers about AIS buoys, marine GPS tracking devices and wholesale procurement.
What are AIS buoys used for?
AIS buoys are marine tracking devices used for fishing net tracking, marine marker positioning, aquaculture net monitoring and marine research. They transmit position data via AIS protocol so vessels and fleet dashboards can monitor their location in real time. Sikes AIS buoys are IPX7 or IPX8 waterproof and offer 10 to 25 nautical miles transmission range.
What is the difference between AIS buoys and marine GPS tracking devices?
AIS buoys primarily transmit position data via the AIS maritime protocol for visibility to nearby vessels and fleet systems. Marine GPS tracking devices typically use cellular or satellite networks to report position to cloud-based fleet management platforms. Sikes manufactures both AIS buoys and marine GPS tracking devices, and some models combine both technologies.
How long do Sikes AIS fishing net tracking buoys last?
Battery life depends on the model. Entry-level Sikes AIS buoys like the 668 and N8A operate for 20 days. The 868 provides 35 days. The N22 and 900P provide 18 to 20 days. The solar-powered 666 and 888 models offer unlimited battery life under sufficient sunlight. All models feature IPX7 or IPX8 waterproof construction and gillnet mode can extend battery by an additional 5 to 6 days.
What is the transmission range of Sikes AIS buoys?
Sikes AIS fishing net tracking buoys offer transmission ranges from 10 nautical miles on the entry-level 668 model up to 25 nautical miles on the W22 external antenna model. The 868, N8A, 666 and 888 models provide 12 nautical miles. The 900P provides 18 nautical miles, the N22 provides 20 nautical miles, and the W8D provides 15 nautical miles.
Do you offer OEM and ODM for AIS buoys?
Yes. Sikes provides full OEM and ODM services for AIS buoys and marine GPS tracking devices. This includes custom firmware, private-label branding, casing color and design, flash light color and pattern customization, and API integration for fleet management platforms. Our R&D team comprises 5 to 10 dedicated engineers out of a total staff of 11 to 50.
What certifications do Sikes marine GPS locators have?
All Sikes marine GPS tracking devices, AIS buoys and boat tracking devices carry CE, FCC and ROHS certifications. Products undergo strict in-house quality control including PCB function testing, waterproof pressure validation and 72-hour aging tests before shipment.
