Marisat and WUI bring you ocean-bound communications with dockside quality, dockside reliability and dockside flexibility. Now, each of your vessels can have its own high quality transmission link to the main- land via the Marisat communications satellites.

Satellite communication provides superior coverage. It is virtu- ally unaffected by weather or iono- spheric disturbances. Consequently, the normal delays in reaching ocean going vessels, or unintelligible com- munications, need no longer be tolerated.

Rugged shipboard Marisat terminal equipment is available from

WUI to provide immediate access to the U.S. telex, TWX and telephone networks . . . and to the international telecommunications system.

Whether your requirement is telex, cable, voice, facsimile or data communication, Western Union Inter- national and Marisat offer a unique blend of new world technology and old world know-how and experience to most economically serve your needs.

Our years of experience in furnishing shipboard satellite systems —for all eleven Apollo space shots, three Skylab missions and the Apollo-

Soyuz linkup—have resulted in the development of technically superior, fully seaworthy terminal equipment.

Maintenance is available worldwide.
