 Connection to IALA-NET is done through a so called proxy and a simple TCP/IP connection.
-First you install a piece of software called a proxy and some associated security certificates. Then you need to identify an IP address and a port number on your AIS network containing the full AIS data stream. You configure the proxy software to connect to this IP address and the proxy establishes a connection with IALA-NET. You would need to make sure there is a suitable hole in your firewall for the connection to IALA-NET to be allowed to pass through your firewall.

-The Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) is currently experimenting with ship-ship and ship-shore route exchange (intended route) and developing e-Navigation services that project a number of relevant information objects onto these routes (weather and sea-state prognoses, Maritime Safety Information etc). DMA hopes to be able to make this sort of information available through IALAt-NET.

+IALA-NET facilitates the exchange of maritime data between its participants. It is a global, unclassified, voluntary, web-based maritime data exchange system.
 It is similar to existing systems such as the HELCOM system of the Baltic States, the NORTHSEA system of North Sea States and the Maritime Security and Safety Information System (MSSIS) operated by the USA.
 It is anticipated that IALA-NET will establish 3 server centres to strengthen the system redundancy and availability. These centres will be evenly spaced in time-zones facilitating 24 hour maintenance and help-desk personnel on workdays.
