Factsheet Fleetnet PDF

The document describes Xantic's FleetNet service, which allows users to send messages via Inmarsat-C to a group of mobile terminals for lower costs than addressing each terminal individually. Key points include: - FleetNet messages are broadcast to a predetermined group of terminals defined by an ENID number. - Charges are based on ocean region and number of transmissions, not number of terminals in the group. - Users register for a FleetNet ENID and can send messages by specifying the ENID, ocean region, and other transmission details in a command structure.
