Research And Development Of EasyMail Communication System Chinese Edition

Inmarsat is an internationally owned co-operative that provides worldwide mobile satellite communications. Inmarsat has become the only provider of global mobile satellite communications for commercial and distress and safety applications at sea, in the air and on land. Inmarsat-C is one of the mobile communication systems criterions of Inmarsat; it provides the services of store and forward Telex, distress alerting, EGC and so on. Inmarsat-C provides global mobile satellite communications for commercial and distress and safety applications, and it can be used to meet GMDSS requirements. So almost all of ocean ships are equipped Inmarsat-C Ship Earth Station.T&T Company produces Mini-C in 2002, which is the 4th generation Inmarsat-C system and has smaller volume and lower cost. The Mini-C integrates antenna and transceiver into one unit and also offers global data communication via the Inmarsat-C Satellite Network. To make up deficiencies in the original DOS based Inmarsat Mini-C Ship Earth Station communication software, this thesis developed the easyMail Communication System Chinese Edition based on Windows2000. Its GUI lets it easier to operate and it allows users to communicate in Chinese characters directly. So Developing Chinese interface and transmitting information in Chinese is of tremendous value to spot rescue and maritime expert system.Because easyMail Communication System Chinese Edition provides these functions of Enhanced Group Call (EGC), date report, polling and position report, this system has quite significance to cut communication time, reduce communication fee, strengthen ship management and raise communication efficiency.
