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. An EGC (Enhanced Group Call) receiver is b

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. The Inmarsat-C system divides the world into four regions and each region is covered by its own satellite. Table 1 Inmarsat system s
