The Inmarsat satellite communications
network is the backbone for two-way voice, fax and data
services for aircraft operating virtually anywhere in the
world. By using Inmarsat consortium partners, Satcom Direct's
patented technology makes the complex Inmarsat network global
and user friendly.
Various Inmarsat ground
earth stations support different services. Based on these
services, customers will have operational problems if their
satcom system is not configured to match the Inmarsat ground
earth station capabilities. Satcom Direct configures each
satcom system to match the Inmarsat service to assure reliable
global mobile to fixed and fixed to mobile communications.
Using a small, inexpensive
satellite terminal, you can send and receive small data
files and reports. It's the ideal data transmission solution
for short messaging requirements. Your data messages can
be transmitted by mobile units and by fixed data communications
devices, such as personal computers, fax and telex machines.
Inmarsat C
is a cornerstone of the GMDSS supporting 5 out of 9 communication
functions defined in the IMO SOLAS Convention, Chapter IV.
It is a packet data communication system providing store
and forward messaging including e-mailing, distress alerting
and distress priority messaging to associated Rescue Coordination
Centres, reception of maritime safety information via the
International SafetyNET service, data reporting and polling
service. It is also very important that Inmarsat C is used
to send messages to a short code or two-digit address, e.g.
sending meteorological reports, navigational hazards and
warnings, request for medical advice and medical assistance,
requests for search and rescue assistance and sending ship
position reports to shore authorities.
EGC SafetyNET provides an
efficient and low-cost means of transmitting maritime safety
information to vessels at sea and is used by meteorological,
hydrographic, search and rescue and coastguard co-ordination
authorities. Messages are addressed to ships at sea using
IMO defined NAVAREAs/METAREAs, coastal areas or sea areas
defined by a circular, e.g. area around vessel in distress
or rectangular area.
