Pseudo AIS or AIS on your smart phone.
A form of AIS has come to the smart phone for both the Android and I-Phone or I-Pad with a INTERNET type connection.
This not an actual AIS, but it can do some things to emulate an AIS. It updates its web page with quick updates, but it does not transmit a VHF signal to other ships. Rather the user must use the smart phone app to view ships that are in the area.
This is accomplished by down loading from the internet the other ship locations which are captured by world wide AIS receiving sites..
