The Future of Maritime Safety: A Deep Dive into the Intellian C700 GMDSS System
In the maritime industry, safety regulations and communication technology have traditionally lived in two separate worlds. You had your mandatory safety equipment (GMDSS) for compliance, and your separate VSAT or L-band systems for operational data.
At Global Satellite Group, we are proud to introduce a product that bridges this gap permanently: the Intellian C700 GMDSS System.
As the first-ever Iridium Certus™ terminal to offer fully compliant GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) functionality, this device is not just an upgrade—it is a revolution for fleet managers, commercial captains, and superyacht owners.
What is the Intellian C700 GMDSS?
The Intellian C700 GMDSS is a next-generation maritime satellite terminal. It is designed to operate on the Iridium Certus network, the only satellite network that provides 100% global coverage, including the Polar Regions.
For years, the maritime sector has relied on legacy hardware that was heavy, slow, and expensive to maintain. The C700 replaces those outdated systems with a compact, solid-state antenna that delivers both critical safety services and the fastest L-band data speeds available on the market.
Why This Terminal Changes the Game
1. Uncompromised Safety in All Sea Areas
The primary purpose of any GMDSS system is to save lives. The Intellian C700 is engineered to meet the strict standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) conventions.
Because it utilizes the Iridium network, it is one of the few solutions capable of providing GMDSS services in Sea Area A4 the Arctic and Antarctic). Whether your vessel is crossing the Atlantic or navigating the Northwest Passage, the C700 ensures your distress signal reaches a Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) instantly.
The system includes a dedicated Distress Unit and Alarm Panel, allowing crew members to initiate a distress alert with a single button press, automatically transmitting the vessel’s location and ID.
2. Blazing Fast Data Speeds
Historically, GMDSS terminals were strictly for safety; they were useless for browsing the web or sending large files. The Intellian C700 changes this dynamic entirely.
Powered by Iridium Certus 700, this terminal offers downlink speeds of up to 704 Kbps and uplink speeds of 352 Kbps.
- Operational Efficiency: Download weather route files, update Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), and manage logistics software in real-time.
- Crew Welfare: Allow crew members to use messaging apps and browse the internet without interfering with the safety channels.
- Remote Support: The high bandwidth supports telemedicine and remote IT diagnostics, potentially saving thousands in diversion costs.
3. Cost-Effective “Three-in-One” Solution
One of the biggest selling points for our clients at Global Satellite Group is the consolidation of hardware. The Intellian C700 effectively acts as three devices in one:
- A GMDSS Safety Terminal: Fully compliant for distress alerting.
- A Primary Communication Line: High-quality voice lines for bridge operations.
- A Data Modem: Reliable internet for business operations.
By installing a single C700, you reduce the clutter on your mast, lower your installation costs, and simplify your monthly airtime billing.
Technical Superiority: Built for the Ocean
Intellian is renowned for its hardware engineering, and the C700 is no exception.
- Solid-State Technology: Unlike traditional VSAT domes that rely on moving parts and belts to track satellites, the C700 uses a phased-array patch antenna. This makes it incredibly resistant to shock and vibration, reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure in rough seas.
- Cybersecurity Ready: In an era where ships are targets for cyberattacks, the C700 comes with built-in firewall features, allowing you to control traffic and protect your onboard networks.
- Easy Installation: Weighing significantly less than legacy terminals, the C700 can be installed quickly by our Global Satellite Group technicians, minimizing vessel downtime.
Why Buy from Global Satellite Group?
Hardware is only half the equation. To get the most out of the Intellian C700, you need a service provider who understands the Iridium network inside and out.
At Global Satellite Group, we provide:
- Tailored Airtime Plans: We analyze your data usage to recommend the most cost-effective Iridium Certus plan.
- Global Logistics: Whether your ship is docked in Miami, Tangier, or Singapore, we can coordinate the delivery and activation of your equipment.
- 24/7 Technical Support: Satellite connectivity is a 24-hour business. Our support team is always available to ensure your link stays active.
