What is the average length of time required for a TELEX sent by Inmarsat-C to be delivered to the addressee?

  • All Inmarsat-C communications are made with real-time connectivity so there is no delay in message delivery.
  • Correct Answer
    The average delivery time for a message sent by Inmarsat-C is about 10 minutes.
  • Date/time notification of delivery is possible only through Inmarsat-FBB.
  • The average delivery time for a TELEX sent by Inmarsat-C is about 10 minutes, but fax and data messages sent by Inmarsat-C require about 30 minutes for delivery.

How is a signal radiated from an Inmarsat-C system's antenna?

  • It is a highly focused directional signal that must be beamed at the desired satellite.
  • It is usually radiated in an omni-directional pattern, but an optional feature allows it to be directional for use when the vessel is on the fringe of the satellite's footprint.
  • Correct Answer
    It is radiated in an omni-directional pattern.
  • It is radiated in an omni-directional pattern that can be reversed by the Operator to attain directional beaming to an alternate satellite.

What statement is true regarding Inmarsat-C?

  • There is a propagation delay, but a direct connection is made between the ship and shore users.
  • There are delays in establishing communications. Then a direct real-time connection is maintained with the other party.
  • The TELEX message is stored until the mailbox is accessed by the station desiring to retrieve their message.
  • Correct Answer
    This is a store and forward network, with an intermediate step that means there is no direct connection between ship and shore users.
