Figure 1-1 Simplified Aeronautical Satellite Communications System
Satellite communication systems
provide users with long-range voice and data communication
by accessing global satellite and ground communications networks.
Inmarsat is an international organization that o
perates and maintains multiple geostationary
satellites and satellite networks. The satellites that provide Swift64 services are called I-3
satellites. Each satellite is located over an Ocean Region (OR); the current OR names are:
• Atlantic Ocean Region-East (AOR-E)
• Atlantic Ocean Region-West (AOR-W)
• Indian Ocean Region (IOR)
• Pacific Ocean Region (POR)
These satellites provide worldwide telecommunication s
ervices for aviation, shipping, and
land-mobile terminal users. The satellites connect to ground telecommunication systems
through the LES/GES.
The satellites that provide SBB services are called I-4 satellites.
At the time of publishing,
three I-4 satellites provide SBB services: Americas (98W), EMEA (25E) and Asia-Pacific
(143.5E).
The HSD-Xi terminal extends the communication fu
nctions provided by other HSD terminals.
It does not communicate with the satellite network on its own. It must be installed with a HSD
to communicate with the satellite network.
