Marinsat describes the TT-3000E mini-C GMDSS system as capable of adding Ship Security Alert System functionality via an SSAS add-on package; this source also states that the TT-3000 LRIT is a standalone LRIT solution, separate from GMDSS or SSAS.

Reliable Inmarsat-C satellite communication platform

SAILOR TT3000 Mini-C is built on the Inmarsat-C platform, widely used in maritime communication, distress, security, and vessel tracking. In its GMDSS configuration, the system supports emergency communication and commercial messaging needs; in its SSAS configuration, it supports confidential security alert transmission; and in its LRIT configuration, the device serves for long-range vessel identification and tracking.

The TT-3000LRIT installation manual describes the system as comprising Inmarsat mini-C Maritime Transceiver, connection cables, a pole mount bracket, and installation documentation; the TT-3026M transceiver is a complete Inmarsat mini-C device, integrating an LNA/HPA, GPS electronics, and an omnidirectional antenna within a sealed enclosure.

Compact, watertight design suitable for the maritime environment

The mini-C transceiver in the TT3000 series is designed to be compact and robust, suitable for the marine environment. In the TT-3000LRIT documentation, the TT-3026M is described as very compact, designed to operate in corrosive environments and harsh weather conditions without frequent maintenance; the device has a sealed enclosure and no user-serviceable parts inside.

This design makes the system suitable for installation on commercial vessels, service vessels, cargo ships, offshore fishing vessels, or any vessel requiring a compact, durable, and stable satellite device for maritime conditions.

Integrated internal GPS for position reporting

One of the key features of the mini-C system is its ability to integrate GPS for position reporting, time synchronization, and sending location data ashore. The TT-3000LRIT document clearly states that the TT-3026M has an integrated GPS module, capable of tracking up to 12 GPS satellites.

. With the SSAS configuration, the system can send security alerts with location information; with the LRIT configuration, the system is used for long-range position reporting; and with the GMDSS configuration, the internal GPS supports safety communication functions depending on the system configuration.

TT-3000SSA – Ship Security Alert System

SAILOR TT-3000SSA Maritime Mini-C SSAS System is the mini-C configuration for ship security alerts. Lambda Marine describes the TT-3000SSA as an independent Ship Security Alert System and Tracking solution, compliant with SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6, separate from services such as GMDSS or LRIT, and comprising 6 easily installable components.

According to Navcom, the TT-3000SSA standard set includes the TT-3026M mini-C transceiver, 20 m transceiver cable, interconnection box, two alert buttons and one test button that can be installed up to 50 m from the interconnection box. The system can also send SSAS alerts to the competent authority and other receiving points as required by the ISPS code and the shipping company.

TT-3000LRIT – Long Range Identification and Tracking Solution

SAILOR TT-3000LRIT is the mini-C configuration for Long Range Identification and Tracking. The TT-3000LRIT installation manual describes the system consisting of an Inmarsat mini-C transceiver, a connection cable, a pole mounting bracket, and the installation manual; the system does not require the TT-3616D Interconnection Box, but it can be purchased separately if more flexible installation is needed.

It should be noted that the TT3000 series is a legacy/old generation. Some suppliers currently listSailor 3000 Mini-C Systems as discontinued products, using the TT-3026 antenna. Additionally, the SAILOR 6130 mini-C LRIT is introduced as the new generation LRIT system and can easily replace the Sailor TT3000 in many cases.
