INMARSAT C

Thrane & Thrane TT-3026LM Mini-C

The TT-3026LM Mini-C is the World's first Inmarsat mini-C system, comprising Transceiver, Antenna and 12-channel GPS receiver in one single unit.

The Mini-C is the 4th generation Inmarsat-C system from Thrane & Thrane, and weights only 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) and is less that 15 cm (6") high.

Mini-C offers global data communication via the Inmarsat-C Satellite Network, and supports all Inmarsat-C services including E-mail, position reporting & polling, fax, telex, X.25, as well as between Inmarsat-C mobiles.

The extremely compact design and power conserving features of Mini-C makes it very attractive for use in AVL (Automatic Vehicle/Vessel Location), VMS (Vehicle/Vessel Monitoring System), SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) and E-mail applications. It ensures fast and reliable transfer of vital information, e.g. position reporting, data monitoring, messaging, loading and unloading information, route planning etc.

The Mini-C features an advanced Sleep Mode function, enabling both timer and event controlled wake up routines, reducing the typical total power consumption to be between 11 mW and 288 mW depending on the reporting interval.

The TT-3026LM Mini-C includes a number of port options supporting interfacing requirements, such as external data equipment i.e. a PC, Laptop and Message Terminal, as well as 6 configurable I/O pins. The Input/Output control ports can easily be connected to remote sensors, relays or switches.

The Mini-C can be interfaced directly on its 18 pole female plug, as well as the optional external RS-232 plug or via the TT-3616B Interconnection Breakout Box.

The Mini-C has build-in VMS. The VMS features includes e.g. pre-programmed Go/No-Go Zones with individual position reporting intervals, sleep mode, as well as detection of antenna/GPS blockage and disconnection.

All input and output ports, settings of position reporting intervals, as well as VMS configuration can be remotely controlled via Capsat® Manager 3.5.

Whether the application is tracking, data monitoring or Internet E-mail, Mini-C will be the ultimate choice.
