Asset Tracking / Remote Sensing
Use Inmarsat C Data Reporting and Polling to program mobile terminals to send a location or status report at programmable intervals. Ideal for:
- Vessel monitoring systems - for local governments to control fisheries
- Vessel tracking systems - for shipping companies that want to keep track of their vessels
- Remote sensoring - for companies with specific technical installations required to send a status report to a control office at specified intervals
Distress and Safety
One of the main drivers for the development of the Inmarsat C service was the need for remote users to send a distress message in case of an emergency.
- GMDSS Distress Alerts - priority distress messages to a Maritime Rescue Coordination Center
- SSAS covert Alerts - covert alert message to a destination of your choice
- LandMobile Alerts - distress call functionality for land mobile users
Broadcast Messages
Use Inmarsat C to broadcast to a group of mobile terminals with just one message.
- EGC FleetNet - broadcast messages to a group of Inmarsat C terminals
