Nera WorldPro 1000
The ultimate communications tool on the move

Nera WorldPro 1000The smallest and lightest terminal - ever
Half the size of a laptop and weighing less than 1 kg, the
Nera WorldPro 1000 meets the toughest demands for portability. Built for persistent travel and bumpy rides, the terminal can be dropped onto concrete without breaking and works just as well in a dusty desert as in a humid rain forest.

Broadband and voice - simultaneously
With data rates of up to 384 kbps, users of the Nera WorldPro 1000 can make use of bandwidth-hungry applications on the move without experiencing any performance issues. Simultaneously, the same terminal can transmit high-quality voice calls.

Complete flexibility - indoors and outdoors
In order to cater for comfortable indoor usage in inhospitable or risky environments, the Nera WorldPro 1000 can be split into two units. Both USB, ISDN and Bluetooth interfaces deliver further flexibility for users constantly adapting to new situations.

No plug - just play
The Nera WorldPro 1000's one-patch antenna means that it takes a user less than a minute to find the satellite communications signal. Self-explanatory indicators and an on-box MMI ensure that the terminal is straightforward to operate.

The
Nera WorldPro 1000 can be supplied with the Nera WorldSet, which further enhances its functionality.

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.


Nera F77

Nera F77With Nera F77 we are continuing our long experience with 64 kbps high-speed data and high quality products dedicated to the maritime market. Nera F77 will give ships online access to a whole range of applications like the internet and e-mail with the worlds first global maritime Mobile Packet Data System (MPDS).



High-speed ISDN link for fast data transmission

The Nera F77 package includes high-speed ISDN at a 64 kbps, which permits 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; choice of applications, speed and transmission quality.

Unlimited applications
With online connection all day, every day, fleet managers, crews and passengers can enjoy an ocean of benefits:

Vessels can now take part in video conferencing, multiplexing several voice, fax and data connections, have encrypted communications...and lots more.

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 key ports around the world. We offer comprehensive operation, maintenance and service training to your personnel, thereby maximising the full potential of Nera F77 for your fleet communications.

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 Video Communicator

With the Nera Video Communicator (NVC) briefcase-sized mobile video conferencing solution, you can hold video meetings at anywhere, anytime via satellite or terrestrial ISDN. It is uniquely designed to go with the Nera WorldCommunicator (NWC), a portable satellite data terminal that provides Inmarsat 64 kbps/ISDN worldwide.


High Quality Video Encoding Algorithm
The NVC uses H.264, the latest video encoding jointly developed by ITU and MPEG Group. H.264 provides a far more efficient mechanism for compression and decompression of motion video. It requires less bandwidth and for video conferencing, H.264 uses 50% of the bandwidth needed by previous video format to achieve the same quality of video. It is also backward compatible with earlier video format.

Saving Of Airtime Charges
With the reduced bandwidth requirement, there will be savings of airtime costs since a 64 kbps link is able to provide the same quality as a 128 kbps link. There will also be a reduction of equipment costs, as less communication equipment is needed.

Securing Your Communication Link
NVC provides embedded and easy to use standard based encryption technology. It supports point-to-point and multipoint calls with DES and AES encryption via automatic key generation and exchange.

Able To Fit The NWC Into The Same Box Of The NVC
The NVC is specially designed with users’ needs in mind. It is able to house the NWC and other accompanying accessories within the same box. This is to ease transportation and deployment for field work. It is compact and greatly enhance portability. It has inbuilt battery to support remote deployment with the NWC.



Possible Usage of The NVC
The NVC is an ideal video conferencing solution designed for field and outdoor usage. Transmitting of video images in remote areas is a key requirement for journalists, military personnel and other field users like those working in the oil & gas industries. Others in the emergency rescue and disaster recovery areas will also find that the NVC together with the NWC is a combination of convenience.

Other Applications Features
The system has moveable picture-in-picture that allows users to view a small image of themselves. It can store up to 100 names and video or telephone numbers in the global directory. It supports multi-language including English, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian and many others. It also allows external connection to camera, microphone and projector. It support IP or ISDN and even wireless LAN. The remote control also enables ease of use and the selection of menu is rather intuitive.

A Rugged And Portable Video Conference Solution Of Choice
Inter-operation between the NVC and NWC is simple and easy to deploy and use. There is a single cable connection between the NVC and NWC. With the remote control, making a call involves only a few clicks of the present button. Together, the NVC and NWC provide an unbeatable combination for remote satellite based video conferencing solution.

Key Technical Features

  • Video compression - H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.263++, H.264

  • Audio compression - G.711, G.722. G.722.1, G.728
