Satlink Email Is The World Leader In Email Services For Inmarsat-C Users.

The service requires you to have Satlink”s ShipSide software ... provided free of charge ... running on your PC and connected to your Inmarsat-C unit. SatLink software allows you to run your favorite Email package (Microsoft Outlook, Exchange or Mail), and uses compression routines to compact the email to a fraction of its original size. Because Inmarsat-C transmission costs are costed by the amount of data sent, the compression feature of SatlinkÝs ShipSide Email means substantial savings.... as much as 1/5th of the cost of sending the same message by standard Inmarsat-C messaging methods.

Email that is received from the Internet is compressed and sent out to the ship, where SatlinkÝs ShipSide software uncompresses the Email and presents it to your favorite Email package (Microsoft Outlook, Exchange or Mail). Similarly, the Satlink Gateway accepts incoming Inmarsat-C Email from a ship, uncompresses the mail and then routes it through the Internet to the destination address.

The Satlink Gateway is a registered Internet Provider. Thus as an example, if you wish to send Email from your office to a ship, then by addressing the mail to: shipname@sat.com.au the mail will be sent to the ShipÝs Inmarsat-C unit. Satlink maintains a directory of ship names and the corresponding Inmarsat-C mobile numbers.

Similarly the Ship can send Email to an Internet user simply by addressing the mail to the users Email address.

By registering your ship with Satlink Email, you will be sent a free copy of SatlinkÝs ShipSide Software. Two monthly plans are available which entitles the ship to use our Email service. Inmarsat-C charges do apply and are itemised in our schedule of rates.
