- Real, where the AIS unit is on the AtoN itself
- synthetic, where the AtoN is monitored by some other means and the AIS message is transmitted from another locations
- Virtual, where the AtoN does not physically exist but the AIS message transmitted from another location is displayed on electronic displays the bridge of ships
