Introduction
The Roaming Oceanic Satellite Server (ROSS) is an integrated location server that works in conjunction with our Vipersat Management System (VMS) to facilitate on-the-move satellite communications for oceanic vessels. ROSS enables remote modems to interface with stabilized, auto-tracking antennae, maintaining connectivity as vessels move through footprints of different satellites. Vessel position data, satellite signal and management status are constantly monitored to determine when satellite handoff is necessary. ROSS stores the operational and configuration information on-board remote terminals, including satellite footprint maps, shoreline contour vector maps, exclusion areas, link budget information, multiple modem configurations and other administrative information. ROSS is implemented in the remote terminals in a fully distributed architecture, eliminating a potential single point of failure in the mobility system.
The ideal complement to our Vipersat Management System and bandwidth-efficient modems, the Roaming Oceanic Satellite Server is suited for use on cargo ships, workboats, freight liners, tankers, cruise ships and military vessels.
Key Features
• Robust platform
• World vector shoreline database
• Interfaces with antenna control unit
• Event log
• Tracking log
Robust Platform
ROSS is based on a rack-mountable hardware platform with a powerful onboard CPU and software. It offers the flexibility of 10/100/1000Base-T network interfaces, RS-232 for console connectivity and USB for re-imaging and upgrading. The operational and configuration information (satellite footprint maps, shoreline contour vector maps, exclusion areas, link budget information, multiple modem configurations and other administrative information) are stored in non-volatile flash memory for increased reliability and enabling the server platform to retain the stored information even when not powered on.
World Vector Shoreline Database
A database of world vector shorelines is provided. It has better resolution than the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) an Earth Station on Vessels (ESV) requirements.
Regions are identified as transmit or don’t transmit, and transmission can be disabled based on location.
