The interface of the COBHAM SAILOR FleetBroadband 500 includes simultaneous voice (up to 9 voice calls) and data communication over BGAN. It is a full-duplex system and supports single or multi-user operation. The system includes a terminal that houses primary electronic components, user interfaces, and LED indicators. The IP Handset is used for IP-based phone calls and is designed for harsh environments. The terminal supplies 18-29 VDC to the antenna through a single coaxial cable and is available in a 19” rack version with an additional power switch on the front panel.

SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual 1 Inmarsat Network BGAN-X (SAILOR FleetBroadband, SAILOR FleetBroadband and SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband) is a platform delivering “always-on” Internet service, telephony /fax and ISDN. The BGAX-X platform delivers a higher data rate than any of the previous Inmarsat systems by the use of their I4 (Inmarsat 4) satellites, the BGAN network and a new generation of small and light user terminals.
Page 12
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network Figure 1-2: BGAN-X Radio Access Network The CN consists of four modules, MGW (Media GateWay), MSC (Mobile Switch Center), VLR (Visitor Location Register), SGSN (Service GPRS Support Node) and GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node). The I-4 satellite communicates with UTs using spectrum in the L- band (around 1.6 GHz).
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual 1.2 Beam types Each Inmarsat-4 satellite provides the following beams /coverage. 1.2.1 Global Beam Global beams: Figure 1-3: EMEA Figure 1-4: APAC Figure 1-5: AMERICAS The Global beams are used only for tracking signal and Bulletin Board transmissions from Inmarsat.
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network 1.2.3 Narrow Beams Narrow beams: Figure 1-9: EMEA Figure 1-10: APAC Figure 1-11: AMERICAS The Narrow beams are used for the actual communication, data, voice and fax. The communication is taking place on a shared channel, which can be the reason for a lower throughput that expected.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual BGAN-X Satellite Beam hierarchy and functions: Figure 1-12: Beam hierarchy 1.2.5 Elevation bands The observed performance or speed of the IP data connection is infl uenced by many factors. With the three different antenna sizes, of the three classes, the achievable data rates will differ.
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network Elevation bands: Figure 1-13: EMEA Figure 1-14: APAC Figure 1-15: AMERICAS End users will also experience that the number of users sharing the bearer, at any particular time, will have an impact on the achievable bit rate, along with at low elevation angles for a specific terminal/link conditions. Each 512 kbps bearer needs to accommodate some system overheads, meaning the maximum theoretical bandwidth available for users will be 432 kbps.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual Under ideal conditions the most powerful FleetBroadband can transmit and receive at a data rate of 492 kb/s before subtracting signalling overheads. Each of the FleetBroadband will have different capabilities. Sharing capacity efficiently among different populations of system classes with different capabilities and in different link conditions across the satellite coverage requires considerable flexibility in managing channel capacity.
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network Alternatively there could be choose a 64 kb/s guaranteed bit rate bearer even when the subscription permits 256 kb/s, but not vice versa. The FleetBroadband supports a number of advanced packet fi ltering techniques which allow precise control of IP Quality of Service. Depending on the capabilities of the system class it is possible to connect multiple computers to a single FleetBroadband and run separate connections to different networks with different QoS handling.

Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network 1.6 Distribution architecture BGAN radio resource is managed by a group of distributed entities which control satellite the capacity collectively. Figure 1-23: Radio Recourse Management RNC (Radio Network Controller) at the SAS manages the radio resource for individual FleetBroadband Terminals. The LRM (Local Resource Manager) is an entity within the RNC.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual The FPS analyses the trends in demand and uses the results to forecast demand over the next 24 hours and further into the future. The FPS then periodically issues updated frequency plans to the GRM. The GRM then applies these plans, reconfi guring the channels used on the satellite payload and the LRMs to ensure that capacity is available in beams ahead of peaks in demand.
Page 24
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network Admission Control: The RNC performs admission control when deciding whether to allow a new connection onto a bearer control. If a connection can be added without violating the quality of service of the existing connections, it is permitted. If capacity is not available then the RNC requests extra capacity from the GRM.
Page 25
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual The air interface can operate with a coding rate as low as 1/3 (i.e. sending two bits of redundancy in addition to each bit of data) and as high as nearly 1 (i.e. negligible redundancy). We can thus operate over a wide range of link conditions from 42.0 dB C/No in the worst case (for decoding the global beam forward bearer with the class 14 FleetBroadband Terminal at the edge of coverage) to >...

Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network Return Direction Queue Reporting: For variable bit rate IP services the capacity available in the return direction needs to be allocated according to the competing demands of the connections sharing the channel. The slotted ALOHA mechanism used for the contention slots in the return direction is highly inefficient for bulk traffic so instead FleetBroadband Terminals send small status messages to the RNC listing the current amount of data queued for each of their...
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual Hence connections that exceed their target rate target in one scheduling interval are not punished in subsequent scheduling intervals. Any remaining capacity after all the target rates are serviced is shared between the connections weighted by the connection’s traffic class, a component of the connection’s 3G QoS parameters.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual On each forward bearer the RNS plans the data and signalling to be sent in advance, once every layout period. The layout period is typically 40 ms or 80 ms. System signalling and circuit switched connections require the most rigid timing.
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network 80ms forward frame illustrating how the frame is divided into blocks of different code rates carrying traffi c for FleetBroadband Terminals with differing link conditions. In this example, traffi c connections for the FleetBroadband Terminals with the best link conditions are carried in FEC blocks 2 and 6 in which the code rate and consequently the data rate are highest.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual In the return direction the BGAN air interface operates in TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). A range of bearer types are supported in the return direction. FleetBroadband Terminals transmit bearers in bursts of either 5 msec. or 20 msec. in duration. There are four possible symbol rates, two modulation schemes and a variable coding scheme that is used to improve the data rate in favourable link conditions.
Page 32
Chapter 1 Inmarsat Network Figure 1-33: Forward direction connection bearers Above fi gure illustrates how the resulting layout mechanism time- slices capacity on the forward bearers for the various connections active on each FleetBroadband Terminal. The forward frame in the narrow beam has several FEC blocks and each may have a different code rate.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual Subsequent FEC blocks may have different code rates for more capable FleetBroadband Terminals. The layout algorithm tries to minimise wasted space in the frame by grouping connections for FleetBroadband Terminals with similar link conditions into the same FEC blocks.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual 1.7.7 Lease mode scenario In the example below there are a total of four forward bearers and three return bearers a beam. One forward and one return bearer is used by public users. The remaining bearers in the beam are used by two separate lease groups.
SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual 2 Product Presentation The main difference between the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband systems and the SAILOR 250 FleetBroadband system lies in the antenna. • SAILOR® 500 FleetBroadband uses the TT-3052A/B/C antenna, which is a maritime BGAN Class 8 antenna.

SAILOR FleetBroadBand Training Manual Why grounding? The reason for grounding the ADU is due to these three (3) points: • Safety: Lightning protection of personnel and equipment. First of all grounding of the ADU is required for safety reasons. In the event of a lightning strike at the ADU, a proper grounding of the system will provide a low resistance path to divert the strike discharge to seawater.

Questions and answers
I need to see the interface of fleetbroadband 500
@Mohamed Cherif
The interface of the COBHAM SAILOR FleetBroadband 500 includes simultaneous voice (up to 9 voice calls) and data communication over BGAN. It is a full-duplex system and supports single or multi-user operation. The system includes a terminal that houses primary electronic components, user interfaces, and LED indicators. The IP Handset is used for IP-based phone calls and is designed for harsh environments. The terminal supplies 18-29 VDC to the antenna through a single coaxial cable and is available in a 19” rack version with an additional power switch on the front panel.
