Satellite Communications – General Operation
KEWA is configured with two separate satellite communications systems. The first
is a fixed installation of an KVH TracPhone and the second is a handheld
INMARSAT iSatPhone2 with a fixed installation docking station.
Between these two systems, it is possible to communicate via voice and data pretty
much anywhere on earth, including email and internet connectivity.
Both systems work solidly. The TracPhone brings reasonably fast internet
connectivity to KEWA. The thing that requires careful management is data
utilization. I use an application on the PC called tbbMeter that is a good tool to
monitor real-time utilization as well as setting off an alarm when data utilization
exceeds the amount designated in the alarm.
Satellite Systems and Services
Weather and Email
OCENS software is designed for cruising weather and email. It is very efficient in
data utilization and offers great weather solutions in particular.
OCENS WeatherNet Software
WeatherNet runs on the PC. It requires some form of internet access so wifi needs
to be active and connected to shore wifi, cellular hotspot or the TracPhone. If none
of those is available or desirable, then the SatCom breaker should be turned on and
the PC connected to the Sidekick-d32 router for dial-up using the iSatPhone2.
Once the desired weather information has been selected, you tell it to Download
and then Go, and if you are already connected to the internet via it will immediately
