Assuring Quality of Service
There are conditions that can compromise the
quality of the service you may receive. These
include:
• Obstructions
• Cabling
• RF Interference
Obstructions
Nearby tall buildings or similar structures,
heavily leafed trees and mountains can all
degrade performance as they block the signal
between the antenna and the satellites.
Inmarsat performance is immune from natural
environments such as clouds, fog, rain, snow,
wind and smoke.

Symptoms of RF Interference
Symptoms of RF interference often resemble
those that arise when an antenna is being
operated with an obstructed view of the sky.
Some of these symptoms include; erratic or no

or otherwise distorted voice. These symptoms may
be intermittent or persistent, depending largely
on the interference source, its distance, strength
and frequency relative to the unit.
