Inmarsat Launch New
Fleet Services
Inmarsat has launched the commercial
availability of the Fleet F55 and Fleet
F33, incorporating global voice, and a
range of fax and data services.
Inmarsat Fleet F55 and F33 are
designed to bring the benefits of satellite
communications to vessels, which were
previously restricted by size and cost of
terminal hardware. Maritime informa-
tion, such as sea and weather charts, can
now be accessed online and updated in
real-time. The configuration of the prod-
ucts gives the option for two distinct
data channels. Currently offering voice,
data and email, it is planned to extend
the Fleet F33 service in 2004 with the
option of a mobile packet data service
(MPDS), to enable crew to send imme-
diate short burst data with an 'always on'
capability at low cost.
LandSea Systems introduced a new
maritime high-speed terminal — the TT-
3086A Capsat Fleet55. The latest mem-
ber of Thrane & Thrane's Fleet product
family, the Capsat Fleet55 is a more
compact version of the Capsat Fleet77
terminal. Available from stock, the
Fleet55 provides mariners high-speed
and cost effective voice and data com-
munications based on either MPDS
(Mobile Packet Data Service) protocol
with constant online access, or on a 64K
ISDN connection. The new standard
MPDS feature allows the user the abili-
ty to be online, all of the time, paying
only for the data sent and received rather
than paying for the time online.
With its lightweight and compact
transceiver and antenna, the Capsat
Fleet55 is quick and easy to install. The
tracking antenna is 27 in. high, has a
diameter of just 22 in., and weighs 39
lbs.
