INMARSAT - C

Thrane & Thrane TT-3020C Inmarsat-C/GPS Maritime GMDSS Capsat®

The compact TT-3020C full SOLAS/GMDSS Capsat Transceiver is your ultimate choice for global Inmarsat-C mobile communication. (GMDSS = Global Maritime Distress Saftey System, a WMD [World Maritime Organization] requirement for some maritime vessels)

The TT-3020C offers fast and reliable connections to any fax and data subscriber world-wide and/or directly to and from another Capsat unit.

The ruggedized, extremely compact design, and power conserving features of the TT-3020C transceiver, makes it very attractive for use in your new GMDSS installation.

Use it for control, management and/or communication, and always be ensured of a fast and reliable transfer of vital information, i.e. position re-porting, data monitoring, messaging, fleet co-ordination etc.

The TT-3020C supports all Inmarsat communication modes, including telex, X.25, e-mail, and mobile-to-land fax services, the standard PU/PA programming formats, as well as an advanced reporting format with multiple DNID's, independent reporting timers and global ocean area pre-programming.

The TT-3020C Transceiver can be supplied with our compact omni-directional TT-3005M antenna, integrating both Inmarsat-C and GPS operation into one single unit.

Operation and control of the TT-3020C may be performed via either our new TT-3606E GMDSS approved Message Terminal.

Additional peripherals such as ac/dc power supply with automatic switchover, remote alarms and EGC printers etc. may be supplied for your GMDSS installation.

The Transceiver also includes a number of parallel control ports, standard NMEA 0183 nav/data interface and an advanced ArcNet local network interface for connection of up to several ArcNet printers and alarm panels.

The TT-3020C supports our home base Capsat Manager Program for fleet tracking and fleet management.

Features:

  • Full compliance with the latest Inmarsat-C specifications for SOLAS/GMDSS with distress calling CN114, IEC 1097-4, IEC 945 and CE requirements.
  • Extremely power conserving, light weight and compact design (car radio size).
  • 2-way data, fax, and e-mail transfer to destinations world-wide.
  • Data- and position reporting to multiple destinations and time intervals.
  • Pre-programming of DNID's for global coverage.
  • Ideal for maritime SOLAS/GMDSS installations with floating dc-supply.
  • Supported by the Capsat fleet tracking and fleet management software.
