The typical Inmarsat C and Mini C terminal includes a small omni-directional antenna, transceiver (transmitter and receiver), messaging unit and power supply (may be powered from a battery only). Maritime terminals may also include a printer and distress button(s). Some Inmarsat Mini C models are available with integrated transceiver, antenna and GPS receiver in one single unit. The height of an omni-directional antenna is about 20 cm, diameter 10-13 cm and weight about 1-1.5 kg. The transceiver unit is compact and light, weighing only 1.5-2 kg. Both transceiver and antenna are very compact and easily installed on any size of vehicle or vessel. Back to previous page.
