| Inmarsat Completes First iSatphone Pro Satellite Phone Call |
|
FIRST CALL MADE USING INMARSAT’S NEW GLOBAL HANDHELD
26th January 2010 – Inmarsat (LSE: ISAT), the leading provider of global mobile satellite communications services, announced today that the first call has been made using its global handheld service, IsatPhone Pro, which is on track for launch in June 2010. The first images of the new handset have also been released.
In preparation for launch, Inmarsat has passed a number of key milestones in the development of the service and finalized some essential contracts and distribution arrangements.
A contract to upgrade the Inmarsat ground network was completed on schedule by Lockheed Martin, and further testing on the integration between the handset and the ground network is underway.
Inmarsat’s partner for the handset development is Sasken Communications Technologies, which has led development programs for most of the world’s top mobile phone manufacturers. Elcoteq, the world’s third largest manufacturer of mobile phones, has been appointed to produce IsatPhone Pro at its facility in Tallinn, Estonia.
Eleven distribution partners, covering all geographic markets around the world, have been selected to sell IsatPhone Pro at launch: AST, China Telecom, Evosat, MCN, MVS, Network Innovations, NSSL, Satcom Global, Singtel, Stratos and Vizada.
“The first call is a significant milestone, and we’re very pleased with the voice quality in initial tests,” said Helen Stalker, Commercial Director of Global Satellite Phone Services.
“IsatPhone Pro is the ultimate combination,” she said. “It’s a robust handset that is easy to use, has long battery life, and offers a reliable global network connection. And it’s provided by Inmarsat, the market leader, with 30 years’ experience in providing global mobile satellite services.”
IsatPhone Pro is targeted primarily at professional users in the government, media, aid, oil and gas, mining and construction sectors. It will offer satellite telephony, with Bluetooth for hands-free use, voicemail, text and email messaging. Location data will also be available to the user to look up or send in a text message.
IsatPhone Pro is the first Inmarsat handheld to be purpose-built for its network. Optimized to deliver the best performance from the world’s most advanced mobile satellite network, it will be available on a global basis over the three Inmarsat-4 satellites, which have an operational lifetime into the 2020s.

| 505 emergency calling |
|
Free direct-dial safety service
For any oceangoing vessel, big or small, safety communications is of utmost importance. Previously, safety facilities were available via Inmarsat B, C, M, and Fleet 77 terminals, but not FleetBroadband. For this reason, Inmarsat has introduced 505 Emergency Calling exclusively for the FleetBroadband family of terminals.
What is 505 Emergency Calling?
505 Emergency Calling is a short code dialing facility that provides direct access to maritime relief. In a time of distress, a seafarer need only dial '505' - selected for its similarity to 'SOS' - to immediately contact a Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (MRCC).
Please note that 505 Emergency Calling is not GMDSS compliant, and equipment compliant with GMDSS should be used in the first instance by those vessels equipped with it.
Quick facts
|
505 Emergency Calling is offered free of charge by Inmarsat, provided it is only used in emergencies |
|
|
|
Designed primarily for smaller vessels that do not require GMDSS-compliant equipment |
|
|
|
Only for use via FleetBroadband 500, 250, and 150 |
|
|
|
Calls are directed to a Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre |
|
|
|
Make 505 calls while engaged in an IP connection, but not ISDN |
What to do
In an emergency, call '505' and clearly provide the following information:
Who you are - vessel name, telephone number and call-sign
Where you are - your latitude and longitude or a bearing and distance from a known geographical point
What is wrong - nature of emergency or difficulty
What you need - the type of assistance required How many - the number of persons on board |

| Trench™ |

Customer Managed Firewall Protection for BGAN, FleetBroadband and SwiftBroadband
When accessing the Internet with BGAN, FleetBroadband or SwiftBroadband it is essential that you protect yourself against malicious Internet users. Integrated with the BGAN Infrastructure, Trench provides this security plus cost control by blocking specific traffic or applications. Accessed through the on-line interface of Stratos-Station Satcom Dashboard, it is easy to set-up and manage your firewall protection.
Protection Against Internet Threats
The Trench firewall sits between the satellite network and the Internet. It allows BGAN, FleetBroadband and SwiftBroadband terminals to access the Internet while at the same time ensuring that incoming malicious traffic is blocked. Since Internet traffic is blocked before it goes over the satellite path you will not be charged for it – charges are levied only for IP traffic that passes over the satellite link in both directions. Using only the firewall on your computer blocks traffic after it has hit your bill, therefore Stratos-Station Satcom Trench brings you additional cost savings.
Stratos-Station Satcom Trench and IP Access Options
The level of protection achieved depends upon the type of IP Access selected. When using a Public IP address (TransparentAccess or NATtedAccess), the satellite terminal is visible on the Internet.
Configure the Trench Rule Set
It is easy to specify what traffic is allowed from the User terminal. For example:
|
Permit only email and block Web browsing |
|
|
|
Permit only Web browsing to the corporate website |
|
|
|
Permit only AmosConnect traffic |
There are 3 ways to specify or select Firewall rules:
1. Public Rule Sets:
These are created by Stratos-Station Satcom and can be chosen for all SIM cards. For example Internet Access or Email only
2. Private Rule Sets:
These are created by the customer giving complete control over the IP Address, Protocol, Port and Subnet values when applying a rule to a configuration and can be set on all the User Profiles that belong to the same customer. You set this up and then simply use this rule set on any SIM card.
3. Custom Rules:
These are individual rules which are created by the customer, they apply only to one User Profile. |
|
| |
|
| |
| |
| |
|
| Dashboard |
|
Stratos-Station Satcom Dashboard allows users to activate, deactivate, suspend, resume and make any changes to their SIM cards.

| AmosConnect™ e-NOA/D |
|
Fast and free-of-charge compliance with U.S. Coast Guard requirements
AmosConnect NOA/D-USCG software makes it easy for your vessels to comply with the U.S. Coast Guard requirements for electronic submission of Notices Of Arrival and Departure (e-NOA/D).
Easy to distribute and install on your vessels, the U.S. Coast Guard offers an onboard solution based on Microsoft Office 2003 and its InfoPath 2003 component. Although this is the preferred method for submitting NOA/D forms, it is not always compatible with your onboard PC configurations.
To avoid having to make unnecessary Windows upgrades or causing your vessels to experience delays, Stratos has developed easy-to-distribute and easy-to-install AmosConnect NOA/D-USCG software for onboard use.
This software allows you to fill in the NOA/D forms, thus meeting the business rules of the USCG. Then you can submit forms in the required format to the USCG National Vessel Movement Center. For more detailed information click documentation link on the right or visit the US Coast Guard website. |

| MobileLink™ |
|
Fixed-to-Mobile Service for Voice and Fax Communications
MobileLink supports all satellite phone services offered by Stratos-Station Satcom operating in any marine, aeronautical, or remote land-based environment. MobileLink offers great savings over the normally higher tariffs of local telephone operators, when calling a satellite phone. It also provides an ideal voice solution in countries where the local telephone operator cannot access the Inmarsat satellite network.
To meet your requirements Stratos developed three MobileLink flavors:
1. MobileLink Easy
2. MobileLink Secure
3. MobileLink Flex
MobileLink Easy
MobileLink Easy is best suited for those who may dial a single satellite phone or group of phones on a regular basis. With MobileLink Easy, a specific fixed number is assigned to each voice or fax number that you regularly call, so that you do not have to enter the satellite phone number – the call is connected automatically when you enter the fixed number that has been linked to that specific satellite phone number. You can request for a North American or European fixed number.
MobileLink Secure
MobileLink Secure is similar to MobileLink Easy, but adds a protection against undesired usage of the service. With MobileLink Secure, a specific Access Code is assigned to each voice or fax number that you regularly call. After dialing a generic fixed number, you will be prompted to enter your Access Code, so that you do not have to enter the satellite phone number – the call is connected automatically when you enter the Access Code that has been linked to that specific satellite phone number.
MobileLink Flex
MobileLink Flex allows you to dial any satellite phone number. It also supports speed dialing and the use of a personal PIN Code. After dialing a generic fixed number, you will be prompted to enter your Access Code. Next step is to enter the satellite phone number you want to dial. Via a voice prompted menu you can make use of a speed dial number. The list of that numbers can be managed by the customer. |

| LRIT |
|
From 1st July 2009, the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) regulation implemented under SOLAS V/19-1 requires operators of ships engaged on international voyages, including passenger ships, cargo ships of 300 gross tonnage and above, and Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) to provide tested and certified shipborne equipment for the transmission of LRIT information.
It is a requirement that your vessel keeps this certificate on board and available for inspection.
The LRIT regulation requires no action or invention on behalf of the Master other than ensuring the equipment remains powered up and logged in at all times.
Hardware: Where the existing onboard equipment is not suitable or a stand-alone LRIT solution is required, We recommends the installation of a dedicated LRIT terminal.
| Thrane & Thrane TT-3000LRIT: A simple and secure terminal delivered directly to the ship, pre-configured for immediate use and inclusive of all Inmarsat C operational processes. |

| SPOS |
|
SPOS from Meteo Consult group Provides the master with all relevant weather forecast information and tools to optimise his voyage planning. With today’s technologies (computers, satcom) this is well possible and cheaper than routing support from a meteorologist onshore. Furthermore the master is responsible for the vessel and is best aware of operational interests and restrictions for vessel and cargo.
Therefore We offers shipping companies a software tool that can be installed on a normal computer with e-mail access. Via SPOS the master can subscribe to a weather forecast for his ocean and/or coastal area and receive up to 2 updates per day. All that at a fixed annual subscription fee so there are no surprises for the budget of the owner/manager.
Onboard, the master receives a complete weather forecast with high quality data which includes pressure, wind, sea, swell and ocean currents. Also fronts, ice limits and tropical cyclone forecasts are available. When the master chooses an extended forecast set, also 500mb charts, weather (rain, snow, thunder, fog,…), risk of precipitation, temperatures of sea and air, visibility and risk of icing become available in SPOS.
