COMSAT Maritime has every signal you need, including worldwide packet data ana electronic mail service.

Before you finalize your ship-to- shore communications system, call us with your data communication require- ments. Because our interconnecting capability with worldwide packet data networks, which is now oper- ational, is only the beginning of our long list of onboard services.

Once your ship is equipped with an

INMARSAT ship earth station, you can have a variety of shipboard commu- nications that rival anything available on shore: our new land/sea electronic mailbox service, Telex and facsimile, up to the minute weather forecasts, credit card telephone calls to any phone in the world, daily news reports, live radio, a television video news service and even electronic banking.

With the communications package that only COMSAT

Maritime Services can provide, you can connect to any telephone or computer on shore. So it will be smoother sailing for you, your crew, and your passengers.
