    INMARSAT C SYSTEM OVERVIEW Introduction The Inmarsat C system provides worldwide telex and data transmission and reception of written information to owners of an Inmarsat C transceiver or a terrestrial telex net- work via satellite. Further, e-mail can be sent via the internet. Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information sent are first stored at an LES (Land Earth Station) and then delivered to designated party.
