ABOUT INMARSAT
Communication of 3Cs: - Convenient - Connective - Competitive


Established in 1979; internally owned by a consortium of 80 member countries Headquarters in London INMARSAT Group Holdings Ltd. International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO)

Initially, introduced for MARITIME comn INMARSAT = International Maritime Satellite Internationally owned co-operative system coProvides world wide mobile satellite communication for maritime, aeronautical and land mobile users. Introduced on 15th July 1979 but started functioning w.e.f. 1st February 1982. Headquarter in LONDON (Britain) Has 84 nos member countries. India is also one of them. Presently has 11 Geo-stationary satellites and 40 Geoearth stations with respective links to National & International PSTN system and mobile links. All the 11 satellites are positioned in such a way that they can cover the three ocean regions.

4 nos out of the 11 satellites are owned by INMARSAT organization The remaining 7 satellites are hired from other organization like INTELSAT, COMSAT & ESA.

INMARSAT D+

NERA MINI M

INMARSATINMARSAT-A SYSTEM
It has almost 8000 land based and 19,000 Maritime INMARSAT-A throughout the INMARSATworld. Can provide satellite phone, telex, Data, Fax or Photo services. MultiMulti-channel systems capable to handle 2, 4, 6 voice channels simultaneously are available on demand basis. High speed DATA transmission. transmission.

INMARSATINMARSAT-B SYSTEM
It is digital version of INMARSAT A System. Can provide high quality duplex voice, fax & data at 9.6 Kbps. Terminals available are vehicle mounted (land mobile), briefcase size (land portable) and maritime version.

INMARSAT C SYSTEM
 Advanced packet data communication system.  Special distress alerting feature.  Encryption facility.  Cost of terminal is Rs.4 Lacks appx. NERA MINI C  Automatic transmission of distress signal to RCC (Rescue Co-ordination Centre) via LES Co(land earth station). All RCC are connected with their own INMARSAT shell Earth Station. So, without loss of time any ship can reach to the spot for rescue.

INMARSAT M SYSTEM
Offers digital telephony (4.8 Kbps), group 3 Fax and duplex data 2.4 Kbps through a compact, light weight satellite terminal. Terminal may be vehicle, boat or ship mounted. Approx cost is Rs.6 Lacks. Brief case size terminal weight approx 8.5-13 8.5Kgs. Battery backup available. Indian Railways with BSNL collaboration has recently introduced INMARSAT M in selected RAJDHANI trains.

INMARSAT MINI-M SYSTEM MININERA MINI M

NERA MINI M

Spot Beam Technology used in INMARSAT-3 generation. INMARSATTerminal is of 2 Kg and small brief case size. Cost approx 2 lacks. Covers 90% of the earth surface. Available in RAJDHANI trains and being extended to other trains. NORWAY provides world phone. BSF has acquired this world phone which is in use in J&K and in remote locations. Big relief to people constantly on the move due to compact terminal and small size similar to a note book.

USES
Provides all time all places (Sea, Earth & Space) communication. Support for voice, data and fax. Useful during disaster/ distress to provide communication when conventional communication gets failed.. Faster services for corporate sectors.
