General
In addition to regular Inmarsat-B services, Saturn B equipment with
software for Extended Services provides as follows:
•Inmarsat-B Lease Mode CN17
•Saturn B Enhanced Bitrate Module
Inmarsat-B Lease Mode and Saturn B Enhanced Bitrate Module
are special services provided by some LESOs.
•Saturn Bm Dual Antenna functions
The services are generally operated through global beam of
Inmarsat’s spare satellites (Inmarsat I2 and spare I3 satellites),
however, Saturn B may operate on I3 Spotbeams if allocated.
Inmarsat Lease Mode CN17
Inmarsat offers operation for parties who want to establish closed
network services. CN17 is a system for long term communication.
The Inmarsat Lease Mode CN17 offers the same service (less
Distress) as with Saturn B in Inmarsat Normal Mode.
The Lease Gateway LES generally only offers 16 kbps Voice and
64 kbps High Speed Data services.
Saturn B Extended Services6
Saturn B Enhanced Bitrate Module
Saturn B Enhanced Bitrate Module (EBM) requires installation of
an Interface Converter Unit (ICU) and an External Modem unit.
EBM is a system for long term communication over a leased satellite
channel. Initiation of lease service is by selection of speed, type of
modulation and channel (frequency) both at the MES and LES.
The system is open for operation through Inmarsat’s lease satellites
only.
•For operation, please note that Saturn B needs to be
commissioned for this service.
•If Saturn B is commissioned for Inmarsat normal mode, the IMN
Numbers registered for the terminal remain unchanged for use in
normal mode.
Saturn B with Enhanced Bitrate Module (EBM) offers three different
services:
•Fixed
•Variable Bandwidth System (VBS)
•Variable Bit Rate (CN17Ext)
Fixed
The Fixed service is a manual operation where frequency, speed etc.
is agreed upon with the Lease Gateway LES and set up manually
each time you initiate a connection.

•Saturn B equipment provided with software capability for Inmarsat
Lease Mode Services.
•No extra additional hardware is needed, however, a Lease Mode
Opening Key is required.
•For operation, please note that Saturn B needs to be
commissioned for this service.
•If Saturn B also is commissioned for Inmarsat normal mode, the
IMN Numbers registered for the terminal remain unchanged for
use in normal mode.

Variable Bandwidth System (VBS), and
Variable Bit Rate (CN17Ext)
VBS is a Telenor/COMSAT LES system implementation, whereas
CN17Ext is a Nera/Stratos system implementation. They provide
ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship dial-up service. Selection of speed,
channel etc. is automatic, based on request and available service
(channel/speed).
The systems include frequency management at the LES for optimum
use of leased channel(s). The VBS and CN17Ext systems are based
onextended Inmarsat signalling.
The services are open for operation through Inmarsat’s lease
satellites only.

Saturn Bm Dual Antenna functions
Saturn Bm equipment with Antenna ADE Mk2 version (with electronic
sensors) and CTRL SW Series 7.12 and up, may be modified for
DualAntennaoperation.
Opening Keys
•Opening Key for Inmarsat Lease Mode is required for operation in
Inmarsat Lease Mode and Dual Antenna operation.
•No Opening Key is required for Dual Antenna Operation.
System
A Dual Antenna system comprises two separate Saturn Bm
installations and a Dual Antenna Switch (DAS).
A Rotary Joint Kit, part 101210 is required for both Saturn Bm
Antennas. The Dual Antenna system is only functional for Inmarsat
Lease Mode operations.

The Dual Antenna Switch allows the MCU-A (dedicated as MASTER)
to select one of the two antennas for satellite communication.
For further details, see Dual Antenna description later in this manual.
