Basic Information
Inmarsat Satellite System
The Inmarsat satellite system consists of four satellites.
The Inmarsat satellite system is a worldwide communications
system covering the area from 70°S to 70°N or more. The system
contains four geostationary satellites placed above the equator, each
satellite remaining in the same relative position to the earth. Each
satellite covers a part of the earth, called an Ocean Region:
·
Atlantic Ocean Region East (AOR-E), 15.5°W
·
Atlantic Ocean Region West (AOR-W), 54°W
·
Pacific Ocean Region (POR), 178°E
·
Indian Ocean Region (IOR), 64.5°E
Coast Earth Stations
Your Inmarsat B terminal is referred to as a Ship Earth Station (SES)
in the Inmarsat system. Linking and routing connections through the
public telecommunications network is done by a Coast Earth Station
(CES). All coordination of the satellite traffic is done by a Network
Coordination Station (NCS).
The Inmarsat B system includes telephone, facsimile, telex and data
communication. At each Coast Earth Station one or more Network
Operators provide some or all of the Inmarsat B facilities. The user
can select which Network Operator he wants to use by specifying a
CES access code in the call.
