    INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Thank you for your recent purchase of a Thales VesseLINK product. Powered by the Iridium global satellite network it’s the only system with truly pole-to-pole coverage for voice and data communications. This USER MANUAL will cover a basic overview and advanced options of the VesseLINK system.

  • Page 10: Figure 1-1: Earth Showing Iridium Satellites In Six Defined Orbital Planes

    Figure 1-2 shows a typical flow over the Iridium network of a call made from the VesseLINK system. A VesseLINK voice or data call is sent to the closest satellite overhead that has a high signal strength. The traffic is then routed through the satellite network until it lands at the Alaska Ground Station, and, is then routed over terrestrial networks to the Gateway in Arizona.

  • Page 11: Safety

    Figure 1-2: Typical Iridium network flow of a voice or data call. SAFETY The VesseLINK system should only be installed by a qualified professional installer of Maritime electronic systems. Improper installation could lead to system failure or could result in injury to personnel on board the vessel.
  • Page 12 ANTENNA RADIATION HAZARDS To comply with FCC Radio Frequency radiation exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at a minimum safe distance as shown below. WARNING During operation, the antenna radiates high power at microwave frequencies that can be harmful to individuals. While the unit is operating, personnel should maintain a minimum safe distance of 1.0 meters (3.3 ft.) from the antenna.
  • Page 13 FCC INFORMATION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
