1 Overview

Introduction
The Inmarsat C is a via satellite system that provides worldwide Telex and data
transmission / reception of written information to owners of Inmarsat C transceivers or a
terrestrial Telex network.

Inmarsat C fulfills the majority of the communications requirements of the GMDSS. Also,
the system enables to send e-mail using internet. Thus, Inmarsat C is a very flexible
system that can easily handle as much personal, commercial and operative messages as
communications relative to distress and security.

Communication mode is store-and-forward Telex: A MES (Mobile Earth Station) transmits

a message into packed data to a LES (Land Earth Station). The LES stores and remakes
the packets, and finally transmits them to the designated party using national and
international communication networks. In the opposite direction, messages can be sent
to a Inmarsat C station or group of stations.

Inmarsat C provides the following satellite service for digital interchange of data through
simple and economic portable terminals:

E-mail and messaging

Fax and Telex
SMS text
Remote monitoring / Tracking
Chart and weather updates
Maritime safety information
Messages GMDSS for aid and security
EGC messages: SafetyNET and FleetNET

Inmarsat-C terminals can receive multiple-address messages known as Enhanced Group

Calls (EGC), and a special header is added to the text to indicate the group of mobiles
or the geographical area to which the message is to be sent. EGCs can be transmitted in
most languages or alphabets. There are two main types of EGC:

SafetyNET provides an efficient and low-cost means of transmitting maritime safety

information to vessels at sea and is used by hydrographic, search and rescue,
meteorological and coastguard co-ordination authorities. Messages can be directed to
mobiles in or approaching specific regions such as one of the IMO NAV/MET areas or the
sea area around a search and rescue incident.

FleetNET allows commercial information to be sent to a virtually unlimited number of

predesignated mobile terminals simultaneously. It is suitable for use by services
specializing in the distribution of news, stock exchange reports, sporting results,
weather analyses, and road/port information.

 Overview 3

Maritime Inmarsat-C terminals are equipped with a distress-alerting feature which, in

the event of an emergency automatically generates and sends a priority distress alert,
incorporating position and other information, to a land-based rescue co-ordination
center (RCC)

Inmarsat Coverage Map

There are four Ocean Regions covering the world each with its own operational satellite.

Atlantic Ocean Region East (AOR-E), Inmarsat-3 F4 satellite at 54,0º W

Atlantic Ocean Region West (AOR-W), Inmarsat-3 F2 satellite at 15,5º W
Indian Ocean Region (IOR), Inmarsat-3 F3 satellite at 178,0º E
Pacific Ocean Region (POR), Inmarsat-3 F1 satellite at 64,0º E

The Inmarsat C system consists of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite Control
Centers (SCC), four Network Coordination Stations (NCS) (one for each ocean region),
Land Earth Stations (LES) and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at
Inmarsat's London headquarters, coordinates a wide range of activities in the Inmarsat
system, including commissioning of mobile earth stations.

Transmission and reception of signals are co-ordinated by network co-ordination

stations (NCS). Each NCS monitors the flow of communications traffic through its
satellite to ensure that calls are correctly set-up and that all LESs are working
correctly.

3.4 EGC
3.4.1 EGC Services
EGC Overview
The EGC (Enhanced Group Call) services provided in the Inmarsat C system offers two
services: EGC FleetNET and EGC SafetyNET. Basically, EGC enables to broadcast
messages to a specific group of ships, or to all ships within a defined geographical area.

SafetyNET Overview
In 1988 contracting governments to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention,
working with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), incorporated these
developments into the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).

Among other things, the GMDSS defines the means by which shore-based authorities
broadcast distress, urgency and safety information to ships. As explained , the GMDSS
relies on two forms of communications technology to broadcast Maritime Safety
Information (MSI):

NAVTEX, MF terrestrial radio to cover many coastal areas.

SafetyNET, using the Inmarsat-C EGC service deals with the distribution of MSI by
satellite, covering entire Inmarsat ocean regions including coastal areas.

How does SafetyNET work?

The SafetyNET service provider determines which receivers are to receive the message
by including identifying information, such as the NAVAREA/METAREA/geographical area
for which the MSI is intended.

© 2016 Advenio Software S.R.L.

24 User Manual - Inmarsat C

A registered Information Provider, such as a national Hydrographic Office, Rescue

Co-ordination Center (RCC), or Meteorological Office, receives information from its
specialized sources.
Each Information Provider prepares an MSI message in a standardized format, and
submits it to the appropriate co-ordinator (Navigational Warning Co-ordinator, SAR
Co-ordinator, or Meteorological Issuing Service).
The co-ordinator checks the message with any other information received, and
edits it accordingly, then submits the finalized text to a selected Inmarsat-C CES.
Included with the message are the following codes (known as the "C" codes), to
instruct the CES and SES on how to process the message automatically:
Priority Code (distress, urgency, safety, or routine);
Service Code, to identify the message type, for example a shore-to-ship
distress alert, or meteorological forecast;
Address Code, to identify the geographical area for which the MSI is
applicable - this may be a fixed geographical area, such as one of the 16
NAVAREAs/METAREAs, or a temporary area determined by the originator,
such as a circular or rectangular area
Repetition Code, to indicate the number of times the message should be
broadcast
Presentation Code, to indicate the character set in which the message will
be transmitted and printed. (The character set used is always the
International Alphabet Number 5, which is also known as 7-bit ASCII.)

The Information Provider may also choose the scheduled time(s) at which the
message is to be broadcast, and, if a CES operates in more than one Ocean
Region, the satellite to be used.
The CES receives the message with its instructions, and queues it with any other
messages received, according to priority and scheduled time of transmission.
At the required time for transmission, the CES forwards the message over the
Interstation Signalling Link (ISL) to the NCS for the Ocean Region.
The NCS automatically broadcasts the message on the NCS Common Signalling
Channel over the entire Ocean Region.
All Maritime Inmarsat-C EGC receivers will receive the MSI message, and print it
out, unless the operator has chosen to reject messages of that type, or it has
recently been printed out by that terminal.

EGC FleetNET Overview

FleetNET is an Inmarsat Enhanced Group Calling (EGC) broadcast facility which allows a
single message to be addressed and transmitted simultaneously to any number of
Inmarsat-C Ship Earth Stations (SESs).

Inmarsat-C SES terminal numbers are continue to increase rapidly even after the
implementation date for GMDSS passed on 1st February 1999. The requirements of
Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) for fisheries has meant that many fishing vessels are
also equipped with Inmarsat-C. All are capable of receiving EGC text messages and there
is no maximum to the number of vessels that can be address at any one time. It is also
possible, of course, to send individual e-mail messages to single, specific ships.

Who can join and use FleetNET services?

The FleetNETSM service is available to all authorized information providers, to broadcast

messages to selected groups of SESs. Authorized information providers may be
commercial subscription services, Government departments, shipping companies,
managers, or others who have registered with the LESO and been added to a
FleetNETSM EGC closed network.

An SES in a closed network may, for example, belong to a fleet, or be a registered

subscriber to a commercial service. Typical applications of FleetNETSM include but are
not limited to:

Fleet or company broadcasts

News broadcasts
Commercial weather services
Localized medical information
Market quotations
Commercial messaging / advertising of services
Government broadcasts to all vessels on a country's register

26 User Manual - Inmarsat C

How does FleetNET work?

To join a FleetNET service, an SES must be registered with an information provider.

Authorized information provider adds the SES to the group which is to receive the
service, by downloading a Group Call ID (via an LES which supports FleetNETTM
broadcasts), uniquely addressed to the SES. The SES stores the ID and can accept
broadcasts from the information provider. The SES operator cannot change this stored
EGC closed network IDs (ENIDs). Up to 64 ENIDs are stored on a non-volatile memory.

The ENID stored can be accessed for downloading and deleting via the satellite path. It
is possible for an SES operator to inhibit (or activate as required), via the terminal unit,
selected ENIDs previously downloaded. Along with the ENID, the name of the information
provider is stored.

The pre-programming of an SES to receive FleetNET messages is performed by the

LESO, in conjunction with the authorized FleetNET information provider, and not by the
SES operator.

The FleetNET service employs closed user groups and unique receiver addressing to
provide secure transmission of messages from the terrestrial information provider to the
desired SES recipients. Adding or deleting an SES to a closed user group which is to
receive the broadcasts is performed by the LESO, in agreement with the information
provider.

The LESO initially downloads an EGC network identification (ENID) code for the closed
user group, for storage in the SES. Details on how this is done and all addressing
information will be provided by any LESO which offers FleetNET services.

To select the EGC receivers that are able to receive a message, the information provider
prepares a message which includes an address to specify the area for which the
message is intended. The address may specify any of the following groups:

Individual EGC receivers;

All EGC receivers within a closed network; for example all ships belonging to
a fleet, identified by a single EGC Network Identification Code ENID;
All EGC receivers on ships of a certain flag.

Messages sent using FleetNETSM will be received simultaneously by all members of the
group defined by the ENID. The SES remains able to accept all FleetNETSM messages
addressed by the information provider to its user group, until the SES ceases to
subscribe to the service. The information provider then cancels the ENID code stored in
the SES, through the LESO downloading a cancellation code, sent as above, addressed
uniquely to the SES.

Note that an SES is not limited to receiving broadcasts from one FleetNET information
provider, but may register with several.

Note also that the SES operator cannot change this stored information but can inhibit
reception of FleetNET messages, if desired.

5 Communications

This chapter explains how to transmit and receive. Before conducting any
communications, be sure to login with the NCS in your area, following the instructions in
"System Initialization - Scanning NCS Common Channel"

To transmit e-mail, you may need to register for e-mail services with appropriate LES
which provides such services. Further, it is necessary to register with appropriate LES to
receive e-mail from land mail system.

5.1 Transmitting

Basically, to transmit a message, the user have to accomplish the following steps:

1. Creating the message

2. Attaching the address of the recipient.
3. Sending the message to the LES.

The address of the recipient in the Inmarsat C system is his Telex number, for
transmission via landline, or MES Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN), when transmitting to a
ship. Also, mails and faxes can be sent.

The message can be one the user has just prepared or one stored on a floppy disk.

Code description
Code can be specified at the terminal unit.

IA5: International alphabet No. 5, ASCII code (7 bit). Specify this code to transmit
English containing lower case alphabet.

ITA2: No. 2 international communications alphabet (5 bit). Specify this code for
message which contains only No. 2 international communications alphabet (see A-
11). ITA2 code is transmitted faster than IA5 code. Land-based Telex equipment
uses ITA2. The LES converts all codes into ITA2. Code which cannot be converted
is shown with the question mark (?).

DATA: Data (8 bit). Use this code to transmit data.
