International Maritime Satellite Organization: Cooperative of more than 50 countries that operates a global system of satellites for mobile communications, such as SATCOM.
A new series of communication satellites which will be used by global positioning systems to give highly accurate locations on the Earth's surface.
An international global telecommunications satellite network established by government treaty in 1979, with 79 member countries. Land Earth Stations (fixed or portable, even to suitcase-sized) provide links between rural sites and telecom networks. Can provide low- bandwidth digital services anywhere on the earth's surface for as little as $1/minute.
International Mobile Satellite Organization
International Maritime Satellite Organization; International organization, operates a system of satellites to provide global mobile communications at sea, in the air and on land.
International Maritime Satellite Organisation. An operator company that established and operates satellite systems for maritime, land mobile, and aeronautical mobile communication.
(International Mobile Satellite Organisation). Established in 1979 to serve the maritime industry by developing satellite communications for ship management and distress and safety applications, Inmarsat currently operates a global satellite system which is used by independent service providers to offer a range of voice and multimedia communications for customers on the move or in remote locations. Yachts in this year's Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race have Inmarsat-D units onboard. With a terminal and antenna no bigger than a breadbox, Inmarsat-C enables a boat to send or receive data, faxes and telexes.
nternational Maritime Satellite Organization. An operator company establishing and operating satellite systems for maritime, land-mobile and aeronautical mobile communication.
A satellite system originally developed for maritime communications but now expanded for all industries. They can provide almost total global coverage.
International Marine Satellite
The International Maritime Satellite Organization operates a network of satellites for international transmissions for all types of international mobile services including maritime, aeronautical, and land mobile.
International Maritime Satellite Organization. Covers Atlantic (AOR East and West), Pacific (POR) and Indian (IOR) Oceans. Has spares in orbit, not always in contact with TT&C.
International Maritime Satellite Organisation. Inmarsat operates a satellite network for global trans-mission of all types of global cellular services, including maritime, aeronautical and land-based services.
The operator of global mobile satellite communications, part of the Inmarsat Ventures Ltd group of companies.
International Maritime Satellite Organization -- An organization created to manage and distribute naval, aeronautical, and mobile land Satellite telecommunications.
As the sole German provider for an Inmarsat Land Earth Station, DeTeSat is the partner of the Inmarsat organisation with worldwide operations. Since its founding in 1979, Inmarsat Ltd. (International Maritime Satellite Organisation), which is based in London and has been privatized since April 15, 1999. Inmarsat has created a worldwide reliable communication system for mobile services of high transmission quality, which is free of interference caused by the weather or atmosphere. It was originally intended to serve mainly the maritime world, but now the mobile services have been progressively extended to supply new applications for the maritime and the land-mobile sector.
