Q

What equipment utilizes satellite communications?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between satellite communications and terrestrial radio systems • Typical use and frequency bands of Inmarsat systems • Whether NAVTEX and SART depend on satellites or local radio transmissions

💭 Think About

• Which option is specifically part of a global satellite network used for GMDSS services? • Which systems operate mainly via shore-based or ship-to-ship radio transmitters instead of satellites? • For each choice, ask: does this equipment need a satellite in orbit to function, or does it work only with ground/ship stations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which equipment is explicitly described in GMDSS as a satellite communication system • Confirm which options are primarily VHF/MF/HF terrestrial radios rather than satellite-based • Verify that NAVTEX broadcasts come from coastal transmitters, and SART uses radar, not satellites
