Satellite Terminals

The INMARSAT satellite network allows METEODATA / HYDRODATA remote stations to transmit collected data securely and efficiently. One of the main advantages of this communications network is its global coverage.

1. Satellite option
INMARSAT BGAN

The INMARSAT satellite network allows METEODATA / HYDRODATA remote stations to transmit collected data securely and efficiently. One of the main advantages of this communications network is its global coverage, even in remote locations that are hard to reach and have low cellular coverage.

2. Satellite option
IRIDIUM

IRIDIUM is a constellation of satellites with global coverage, even in areas where traditional communication systems such as fixed or mobile telephony have no signal.

To establish communication via the IRIDIUM satellite network a modem-antenna set is required in the data centre and also for each remote station.

IRIDIUM communication works similarly to mobile phone communication, except that instead of using the cellular towers of an existing network, a series of IRIDIUM satellites arranged in space are used to establish the communication.



Satellite option IRIDIUM

3. Satellite option
THURAYA

METEODATA/HYDRODATA remote stations can transmit data over Thuraya, a satellite communications system with connectivity in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

This connectivity is established through the Thuraya satellite modem that can transmit information at speeds of up to 444 kbps.
