AIS isn’t long range though. You’d need an incredible amount of base stations for any sort of decent coverage of frequented areas.

50k radius if not more off a 10 sailboat mast. In context of sailing boat that you only meed couple of kilometers.

BTW new Iridiums are capturing AIS and ADS-B from satelite.
