Nera F33 The power of
satellite communications via Inmarsat Fleet
High quality mobile voice and data communications Nera F33 introduces cost effective maritime communications. This
state-of-the-art system provides you with telephone, fax, e-mail and
Internet access - even when you are out of reach of conventional mobile
phone or radio networks.
Will never have to choose between business and pleasure again
Now you can enjoy more time on board your yacht with friends and family,
safe in the knowledge that you are in constant contact with business
colleagues and decision-making information. It is like having your office
at sea. With Nera F33 you truly can mix pleasure and business without
compromise. Above all, you’re free to make the most of the lifestyle you
were looking for when you first chose your yacht.
The latest technology working for you
Designed specifically to meet the needs of smaller and medium-sized motor
and sailing yachts, Nera delivers a cost-effective solution based on the
state-of-the-art Inmarsat Fleet satellite platform. Thanks to its unique
Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) capabilities, a whole new generation of
advanced maritime communication services are now available.
Make informed decisions wherever your yacht takes you
Nera F33 facilities are ‘always on’ which means that users can have
permanent access to the Internet and company intranets and extranets
wherever you are on the oceans. You can check business and personal
e-mail, browse the web, join online discussion forums and use SMS text
messages.
Easy to use, easy to install
Voice and fax quality are both very high with Nera F33 on board - anywhere
in the world you are likely to sail. Instant messaging is another
advantage, as are other Internet-sourced communications. Connection to PCs
and laptops is just as straightforward as it is in a land-based office.
Crew also have instant access to chart and weather information. It is a
highly flexible system.
Inexpensive to operate
Nera F33 is also a highly cost-effective communications package to
operate. That is because you only pay for data actually transmitted and
received - even though the system is permanently connected online. This
also has the advantage of vastly reduced connection times speeding the
process of downloading e-mails and other data files.
Unrivalled support - around the clock, around the world Nera’s
continuous involvement in marine communications since 1978 has created a
powerful company ethos built on the massive importance of product

State-of-the-art
marine communications providing a range of cost effective applications
Nera F33
This remarkable new Nera marine communications system is available now
with worldwide availability. Whilst based on the highly successful Nera
F77 system for large merchant vessels, the Nera F33 has been specifically
tailored for motor and sailing yacht applications.
Easy installation
Nera F33 is notably easy to install. It does not even need a Nera regional
service centre to do the job. Customers will find that they can easily do
it themselves. The compact antenna unit will also fit into existing
streamlined motor yacht domes.
Quick configuration
Below-deck equipment with the Nera F33 connects easily (plug and play) to
telephone, PC and fax terminals. Configuration is fast and simple, using a
PC man-to-machine interface.

fast data transfer. With Nera F77 much-improved voice, fax and data access
are possible. It's this unrivalled knowledge combined with the proven
reliability of the Nera Saturn B satellite system that has positioned Nera
as the acclaimed world leaders in marine communications.
The new online world of
Maritime Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS)
With Nera F77, ships will have at their command the communications tools
associated with everyday business on land. That's because the Nera F77
terminal uses the world's first global maritime Mobile Packet Data Service
(MPDS). This gives a ship online access to a whole range of applications
like the internet and e-mail. Because you only pay for the data
transmitted, not for the time connected, you can choose to be permanently
online. With both MPDS and ISDN on board you have the best of all worlds;

A truly global service from the name
with the great maritime heritage
When you choose Nera F77 terminals, you will benefit from our unrivalled
experience, knowledge and heritage in maritime communications. Our unique
global network of support centres with Nera trained and certified
engineers, provide unrivalled service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in 30

Satellite communications are increasingly being used by marine vessels in
order to access online connectivity with the onshore world. For several
years the Nera WorldPhone has been a success for both light marine market
and the commercial shipping market to access voice, low speed data and fax
services through the spot-beam satellite services. For vessels operating
on deep-sea global routes, the new Nera F77, based on Inmarsat Fleet 77
services would be the preferred installation. The larger Nera F77 provides
an "office at sea" service, with high-speed data capacity and serving
broad communications needs (including voice, data, Internet, fax)
available through Inmarsat's global- as well as spot beams. Inmarsat are
planning to launch the new Fleet F33 early in 2003 to fill the gap between
the two existing services, and once again Nera will be providing terminal
equipment for this service, with the launch of the Nera F33 terminal.
Nera
Saturn B The
Nera Saturn B enables communication for vessels via telephone, telex, data

and the outside world. It communicates via Inmarsat-B, the efficient,
all-digital and global Inmarsat system that support telephone and telefax
services, telex and Internet and LAN access, as well as the emergency
services required for deep-sea and passenger ships. The Nera Saturn Bm is
a world leader. It consists of a sensor-stabilized antenna above decks and
an electronics unit and its peripherals below decks, usually on the bridge
of a vessel.
A typical installation offers:
Telephone 16.2 kbps voice
9.6 kbps Group 3 (G3)
telefax.
9.6 kbps data communication
(ASD).

GPS information and similar broadcast information (optional).
Nera WorldPhone Marine The Nera WorldPhone is a global advanced satellite
telephone, which provides voice, fax and data capabilities. This marine
option means you can use your WorldPhone while at sea or in coastal
waters. The WorldPhone Marine is compact and robust, made to tolerate
extreme maritime conditions. It consists of a maritime antenna that keeps
lock on the satellite despite vessel motion, and a conveniently small
below deck electronic unit, and offers:
Basic telephone services.
2.4 kbps Group 3 (G3)
telefax.
2.4 kbps data communication
(ASD).
STU II (optional).
The
Nera WorldPhone Marine offers tele-communications via the Inmarsat mini-M
system that uses spot beams to cover the major ocean regions, except for
the more remote areas and the poles. It offers the convenience of
cost-effective mobile communications on board a wide variety of vessels,
including:
fishing vessels, for
communication in waters outside the range of VHF or cellular telephone.
deep-sea vessels, for
cost-effective services, for crew calling.
coastal craft, for more
consistent comms than via VHF or cellular telephone.
