Which Inmarsat Earth stations would be available for Inmarsat-C traffic if the vessel is off the Atlantic Coast of the United States and tracking the AOR-E satellite?
• Inmarsat Ocean Regions (AOR-E, AOR-W, IOR, POR) and which one covers the U.S. East Coast • The link between a satellite’s ocean region and the Land Earth Stations (LES) that normally work with that satellite • Geographic locations of Southbury, Burum, EIK, Santa Paula, Fucino, Haiphong and whether they are typically associated with AOR-E
• First, picture where the AOR-E satellite coverage area is on the globe. Which countries’ coastlines and land areas fall under AOR-E? • Then, think about which Land Earth Stations are logically positioned to serve ships in the North Atlantic east/west areas. Which of the listed stations are known AOR-E LESs? • Ask yourself: if I am off the U.S. Atlantic Coast on AOR-E, which U.S. LES would I most likely be using—and which nearby European LESs are also tied to that same ocean region?
• Verify which ocean region each listed LES is associated with (AOR-E, AOR-W, IOR, POR). Focus on AOR-E only. • Check whether Southbury (USA) and Santa Paula (USA) serve the same or different ocean regions. • Eliminate any answer choices that include an LES clearly associated with Pacific or Indian Ocean regions rather than the North Atlantic AOR-E.
