🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between Class A and Class B AIS equipment • Typical transmitter power levels for long‑range versus short‑range communication • Purpose of shipborne Class A AIS on SOLAS vessels

💭 Think About

• Is Class A AIS intended for large, SOLAS‑class ships that may need to be seen and heard from farther away, or for small craft in local areas? • Would higher transmitter power or lower transmitter power be more suitable for long‑range identification and traffic management? • Which power level listed looks more like a "commercial ship" level versus a "small boat" or "personal electronics" level?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall or look up standard Class A AIS transmitter power used on SOLAS ships • Compare which answer choices sound more like low‑power short‑range devices (e.g., handheld radios, Class B AIS) • Make sure you’re picking the option consistent with long‑range vessel tracking, not just close‑in harbor use
