1. INMARSAT-B SYSTEM
1.3
Service Area
The Inmarsat system divides the world into four regions and each region is
covered by its own satellite. The regions are Atlantic Ocean Region-East (AOR-
E), Atlantic Ocean Region West (AOR-W), Pacific Ocean Region (POR), and
Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The reason for two regions in the Atlantic Ocean is
to solve the coverage gap problem there.
