How are Inmarsat-C LESs selected by the operator?
  • The operator can program the terminal for their preferred default LES codes for Distress and routine communications.
  • Correct Answer
    The NCS for each ocean region downloads the current LES codes into the terminal.
  • The NCS selects the optimum LES code for both Routine and Distress communication.
  • The LES codes can be selected for routine communications but the NCS chooses the best LES for Distress Alerts.
  1. The NCS in a region is assigned a common channel.
  2. Each channel using a different frequency is how transceivers select an NCS, satellite/ region.
  3. The receiver will try synchronizing with the NCS on a common channel.
  4. Default programming means the S.E.S. transceiver tunes to the NCS and CC Frequency.
  5. The NCS CC signal level indicating signal strength is required for routine operation.
  6. The NCS can also be manually selected.

  • LESs are only available in the Ocean Region controlled by their NCS.
  • Correct Answer
    Some LESs are available in all four footprints due to the cloud-based NGC mode.
