Q

What equipment utilizes satellite communications?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Satellite communications vs. terrestrial radio (VHF/MF/HF) • Which GMDSS components require geostationary satellites • Differences between Inmarsat, NAVTEX, and SART functions

💭 Think About

• Which of these systems is specifically known as a satellite service used for distress, safety, and routine messaging? • Which options normally work by line-of-sight or ground‑wave propagation rather than via satellite? • Think about which device talks to orbiting units vs. shore stations broadcasting from the ground.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is part of the Inmarsat network • Confirm which systems (if any) operate on VHF/MF/HF radio frequencies only, without satellites • Verify which equipment is designed mainly as a radar target rather than a communication link to satellites
