FELCOM-18 Inmarsat-C

The Furuno FELCOM-18 Inmarsat-C is an Inmarsat-C terminal. It is normally installed at the bridge or GMDSS console with satellite antenna and position input. It is designed for store-and-forward GMDSS messaging and maritime safety information. The operating principle relies on low-rate satellite data messaging rather than broadband communications. The supplied entry gives no additional verified capacity, pressure, power or dimensional figure for this model. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are terminal generation, antenna arrangement, printer/display and interface hardware; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on network log-in, vessel identity, position input, message handling, printer/display and emergency power. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
