This course is an introduction to satellite-based communication systems. The course covers satellite systems, including coverage, speed, price, and usage. It also introduces the possibility of having an internet connection on board while at sea.
Satellite communication:
Today, there is a lot of communication via satellite. In this course, you learn about the satellite systems used at sea. One of these systems includes Iridium, which offers telephony and data communication.
The Iridium system has been approved as an emergency system for commercial transport. But it is also interesting for sailors who travel beyond local waters.
Another option is the SAT-Phone which, unlike Iridium, gets coverage from geostationary satellites. In this course, we present different phone options for the two systems.
