This book is important for modern shipping, truck, train and aeronautical societies because GMSC in the present millennium provides more effective business and trade, with emphasis on safety and commercial communications. In recent years, new developments and initiatives have resulted in land and aeronautical applications and the introduction of new satellite constellations in non-geostationary orbits such as Little and Big LEO configurations and hybrid satellite constellations as Ellipso Borealis and Concordia system.

Its initial application is aimed at the maritime market for commercial and distress applications. Mobile satellite communications and technology have been in use for over two decades. It enables connections between moving objects such as ships, vehicles and aircrafts, and telecommunications subscribers through the medium of communications satellites, ground earth stations, PTT or other landline telecommunications providers. They have to do the same procedures on the simulator as in the real equipment.Global mobile satellite communications (GMSC) are specific satellite communication systems for maritime, land and aeronautical applications. In a simulation exercise, students establish communications using several GMDSS equipments. Vox Maris helps the instructor to know when a practice is going out of the goal, thus, he can correct the direction of the simulation. The exercises can have a specified goal that students would have to reach. The instructor designs exercises in order to evaluate knowledges and actions of the students. Vox Maris offers features for two different roles the instructor of the course and the students. Vox Maris simulates VHF (DSC), MF/HF (DSC),Inmarsat C and Navtex with fully operational features, as far as their GMDSS operational procedures.

It is a PC-based simulator to train sea-faring people in the use of GMDSS communications equipment, within a controlled and safe environment. Compared to the Windows version of CAPSAT.įrom Vox Maris is a technical training tool. PCSatC 1.2 is available as a free download on our software library.
