    INMARSAT-C SYSTEM This chapter provides an overview of the Inmarsat-C satellite com- munication system. Introduction The Inmarsat-C system provides worldwide telex and data transmis- sion and reception of written information to owners of an Inmarsat-C transceiver or a terrestrial telex network via satellite. Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information sent are first stored at a LES and then delivered to desig- nated party.

  • Page 19 The Inmarsat-C system consists of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite Control Centers (SCC), Network Coordination Sta- tions (NCS), Land Earth Stations (LES) and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at Inmarsat’s London headquarters, coor- dinates a wide range of activities in the Inmarsat system, including commissioning of mobile earth stations.

    Peripheral Equipment The following equipment can be additionally connected to the FELCOM 12. Distress/Urgent Receiving Unit (IC-303) The IC-303 releases an audible alarm and blinks the lamp when dis- tress message is received. (Refer to page 4-26 for further details.) When an EGC distress or urgent message is received, with an aural alarm and blinking lamp.

    EGC Settings What is the EGC (Enhanced Group Call) service? The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNET or FleetNET messages via a LES to select groups of ships, or to all ships within a defined geographical area. To send an EGC message, the information provider prepares the mes- sage, and then accesses the Country of international telex network to send the message to the LES.
