The smallest unit, the Debeg 3233 F33 system, provides fax and data at 9.6kbps on Inmarsat spot beams and global mini-M voice communications. This simple to install and connect system is essentially designed for smaller vessels such as tugs and other workboats as well as medium sized yachts.

Providing over the horizon capability, the Debeg 3270 F77 and 3255 F55 integrated terminals ensure both high speed Mobile ISDN data Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) facilities at a basic 64kbps or optionally, 128kbps. This permits maximum flexibility and scalability, allowing users to select the most effective means of transmitting data in terms of time and cost. Both offer enhanced global ship to shore voice, fax and data communications for ocean going and coastal vessels while featuring reduced size antennas and below deck equipment.

The F77 also features a GMDSS capability.

All three terminals basically comprise an electronic unit with ISDN handset together with a radome antenna incorporating a GPS facility for independent satellite search and tracking.

Additional ISDN handsets and analogue telephones as well as G3 fax machines are available on request.

Together with an ISDN router, all terminals can connect local area networks or virtual private networks with on shore management systems via the Web and so enable a comprehensive range of communication and information access at costs based only on the amount of data sent and received.
