🔍 Key Concepts

• Iridium GMDSS and how it interfaces with Rescue Coordination Centers (RCCs) • Automatic routing logic based on position information in modern satellite distress systems • The role (or non‑role) of Land Earth Stations (LES) and manual voice calls in automated distress alerting

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in a true distress, should the system depend on the crew manually choosing which RCC answers, or should it work automatically based on objective data? • Which option best reflects how a digital distress alert from a satellite terminal would be routed: by automated network logic using the ship’s location, or by placing a voice call and explaining the situation? • Do Iridium GMDSS distress alerts use legacy LES operators the same way older Inmarsat systems did, or do they go through a dedicated GMDSS network path?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether Iridium GMDSS uses automatic routing based on the terminal’s reported position to select the appropriate Maritime or Rescue Coordination Center. • Check if Land Earth Stations (LES) are actually part of the Iridium GMDSS architecture, or if that term belongs to older Inmarsat A/B/C systems. • Confirm whether a proper digital distress alert should be initiated via a data alerting function (red button/menu) rather than by manually dialing a telephone code or making a normal radiotelephone “Mayday” call.
