Inmarsat-C device for GMDSS

Furuno FELCOM 18 is designed forGMDSS – Global Maritime Distress and Safety System applications. When fully configured with a printer and a suitable AC/DC power supply, the system can meet the GMDSS operational requirements on board.

In maritime operations, Inmarsat-C plays a crucial role in receiving safety messages, sending operational data, exchanging messages, and maintaining satellite communication when the ship is operating outside the coverage area of conventional communication systems.

Email, telex, fax, EGC, and polling support

FELCOM 18 INM-C supports multiple maritime communication methods such as telex, fax, email, EGC, data reporting and polling. These functions help ships send and receive information with the management company, shore stations, authorities, or other relevant parties.

Flexible data transmission and reception capabilities allow the system to serve both safety communication needs, vessel operational tasks, and periodic data reporting throughout the voyage.

SSAS and LRIT Compatible

A significant advantage of the Furuno FELCOM 18 INM-C is its integration capability with when used with related equipment. via an optional SSAS Alert Unit.

The SSAS feature supports sending ship security alerts in emergency situations such as piracy, security threats, or incidents requiring confidential reporting to shore. Additionally, the FELCOM 18 is also compatible with the LRIT – Long Range Identification and Tracking applications, serving long-range ship identification and tracking.

Use SD card for data storage

FURUNO FELCOM 18for both power and encrypted data, connecting from the user terminal to theSD card as a data storage medium. This allows operators to easily save, manage, and process communication or related data during operations.

Compared to older storage methods, SD cards provide more convenient data manipulation, supporting the operation and maintenance of satellite communication equipment on board.

Optional GPS for position reporting

Furuno FELCOM 18This feature helps maintain a suitable operating environment for the antenna. At the same time, it supports more stable system operation in harsh climatic conditions.GPS receiver / GPS Board Kit. When equipped with GPS, the system can provide position data for automatic reporting functions, vessel tracking, and other location-related applications.

The GPS option is particularly useful when the system is used for data reporting, LRIT or configurations that require transmitting vessel position information ashore.

Furuno FELCOM 18 System Configuration

A standard Furuno FELCOM 18 INM-C typically includes Antenna Unit IC-118, , , Terminal Unit IC-218 and installation materials.

Additionally, the system can be supplemented with optional devices such as, and installation materials., Additionally, optional equipment can be added, such as , Distress Alert/Received Call Unit IC-305, , , Alarm Unit IC-306and in appropriate configurations. These technologies help improve the quality of positioning data when the operating area has corresponding augmented signal support., depending on GMDSS, SSAS, or LRIT configuration requirements.
