INMARSAT C SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Introduction

The Inmar s at C s ystem provides worldwide telex and data transmission and reception of written informat ion to owners of an Inmar s at C transceiver or a terrestrial telex network vi a s atellite. Further, e-mai l may be sent via the int er net.

Communic ation mode is store-and-forward t elex, which means all information sent are fi rs t stored at an LES and then delivered to designated party.

An EGC (Enha nc ed Group Call) receiver is built in t he FELCOM 16 to receive the following types of messages, br oadcast by LESs:

• SafetyNET distribute maritime safety information to ships within selected areas.

• FleetNET can use this service to transmi t trade information (for example, company news or m ar ket prices) simultaneously to a selec ted group of ships , to provide up-to- the-minute information.

• EGC system-related is sent by Inmarsat to cert ain shipping companies and geographical areas.

Besides i ts primary appl ication of ship-shore, s hor e- s hip or ship-ship communications, the Inmars at C service has also proved beneficial to trucking firms who have found it indispensable for communi cating with thei r vehi c les. In this manual, however, we will concentr ate on ship appli cations, the main application.

-governments and maritim e authorities can use t his service to

-commercial s ubs c r iption organizations or shipping companies

INMARSAT C SYST EM

The Inmar s at C s ystem consist s of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite Control Centers (SCC), Network Coordination Stations (NCS) , Land Earth Stations (LES) and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at Inmarsat’s London head quar ters, coordinat es a wide range of ac tivities in the I nm ar s at system , inc luding commissioning of mobile earth stations.

The Inmar s at C s ystem divides the world into four regions and each region is covered by its own satellite.

In each region there is one NCS and several LESs. The NCS keeps track of all Inmarsat C transceivers in its region and broadcasts inf or m ation such as navigati onal warnings, w eather reports and news. The LESs provide the link between the MES and the terrestrial telecommunications network s vi a s at ellite.

LRIT COMPLIANCE

This equipment can function as a marine communications t erminal for the LRIT (Long-Range Identification and Tracking) system, as prescribed by the IMO regulation MSC.202(81). The LRIT uses the F E LCOM's Data Report/Polling feature f or LRIT position reporting.

The LRIT system is fully automatic, thus no operation is required of the user. However, follow the guidelines shown below to use this equipment as an LRIT device.

The data listed below is sent by the FELCO M when it receives a command from the LRIT data center.

• ID number of this equipment

• Position of your ship

• Time of position

The FELCOM sends data at intervals between 15 minutes and 6 hours.

The FELCOM automatically receives commands (related to time of position reporting, transmission interval) from the LRIT dat a center. To receive the commands at all times, keep the equipment powered and l ogged in.

There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code and message with both addressee code and password.

When the FELCOM 16 receives a confidential message, the message is neither displayed nor printed immediately. To display or print the contents of a confidential message, the recipient executes the procedure shown in paragraph

4.2.3.

Addressee code and password

Caller and recipient agree beforehand on both the addressee code and the password. The addressee code might be the title of the recipient; for example, CAPTAIN. The password could be the classification of the message; for example, SECRET.
