The Inmarsat C are satellite communication systems designed for ships and vessels that are on the high seas. These systems provide voice, data and positioning communication services through a global network of satellites.
Inmarsat C is a packet-based, two-way communication service that allows users to send and receive data such as text messages, emails, navigation information, and other important information. The system also provides positioning services, allowing users to know their exact position in real time.
Inmarsat C systems consist of a satellite terminal, an antenna and data processing equipment. The satellite terminal is the device that connects directly to the satellite, and is responsible for the transmission and reception of signals. The antenna is responsible for sending and receiving signals from the satellite. The data processing team is responsible for processing the received data and preparing it for use.
Inmarsat C systems are essential for safety at sea, enabling ships to maintain contact with emergency services, and provide real-time positioning and navigation information, helping to avoid collisions and ensure safe navigation. They are also useful for navigation management, route planning, and communication with other ships and maritime traffic control stations.
In addition to security features, Inmarsat C systems provide additional services such as internet access, weather services, among others. Inmarsat C systems are widely used on all types of vessels, from fishing boats to cargo ships and cruise ships.
