Seamless C-Band Coverage Worldwide

Intelsat’s Global C-band Mobility Network uses capacity on three ocean-region satellites: IS-18 at 180° E, IS-23 at 307° E and IS-906 at 64° E. Primary hubs at Intelsat’s Fuchsstadt and Riverside teleports and backup hubs at Intelsat’s Mountainside and Atlanta teleports round out the seamless global network.

Operational highlights:

• Seamless global voice, data and video services
• Automatic beam switching (ABS) allows a vessel to seamlessly transfer from one satellite to another while maintaining connectivity with continuous provisioning of the service
• Defined IP rate for downlink and uplink channels for each customer’s Individual Shipboard Terminal (SBT). (Customers are responsible for providing their own SBTs.)
• The forward channel is a high speed Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) carrier transmitted via satellite from hubs located at the Intelsat teleports
• The return channels are Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) links transmitted via satellite from SBTs
