Communication - Nera Saturn BM Marine Operator's Manual

Saturn Bm Communication
The Saturn Bm Marine terminal provides direct telephony, telex and
data connection to the international public networks via the INMAR-
SAT satellite system.
The digital technology used in the system ensures complete privacy
for the calls.
The Saturn Bm Marine terminal consists of only two units, the Above
Deck Equipment (ADE) and the Below Deck Equipment (BDE), with a
single cable connecting them.
The installation is very simple. The complete installation can normally
be done by one engineer in less than a day.
The basic system consists of the compact Main Control Unit (MCU)
w/Display Handset, the antenna radome containing stabilized anten-
na, transceiver and tracking system and a Distress Alarm Unit.
All operating functions are conducted through the telephone Display
Handset.
The Saturn Bm also offers connection of 5 telephones, telefax, Mes-
sage Indicator, telex PC, and PC for data transfer via its built-in
modem (option).
