Future proof hardware
All Nera F77 installations are prepared for the next generation
of Inmarsat satellites. When these come into service there
will be no need to upgrade the hardware.
Guaranteed safety with pre-emption system
The Nera F77 also guarantees the same level of maritime
safety as for the Inmarsat B system.
The entire communications system can be
overruled by rescue authorities anywhere in
the world. By virtue of a pre-emption facility,
emergency services always get through
between the ship and rescue centres – even
when the voice or data channels are in use.
The built-in hierarchical priority guarantees
that emergency and safety messages can
never be overridden.
A revolution in online maritime communications
For nearly 25 years Nera maritime satellite
communications have been relied upon throughout
the world’s oceans.
With Nera F77 we are continuing our long experience
with 64 kbps high speed data and high quality
products dedicated to the maritime market.
It’s this unrivalled knowledge combined with the
proven reliability of the Nera Saturn B satellite system
that has positioned Nera as the acclaimed world
leaders in marine communications.
Now with the launch of the Nera F77 terminals,
vessels will be able to communicate like offices
at sea.

The new online world of Maritime Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS)
With Nera F77, ships at sea will have at their command the
communications tools associated with everyday business on
land. That’s because the Nera F77 terminal uses the world’s
first global maritime Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS).
This gives a ship online access to a whole range of
applications like the internet and e-mail.
The beauty is that this service can be ‘always on’. Because
you only pay for the data transmitted, not for the time
connected, you can choose to be permanently online.
Your vessel need never be out of touch.
With improved information flow, improved vessel
management will follow. Fleet management will now have
a more efficient ship/shore logistics system available to
them 24 hours a day.

Treat your vessels like mobile offices
Having MPDS facilities online every minute of the day and
night brings an ocean of new IT benefits to fleet managers
on land and crews at sea. For example, data networks
onboard vessels can be integrated into their companies
network on land. As well as being able to use the internet
and e-mail, onshore management will also have online
access to the parameters which maximise cost-efficient
operation... cargo data, fuel status, position, speed,
maintenance schedules, engine parametrics and so on.
Quite simply, a fleet with Nera F77 terminals installed can
be run more efficiently.
High-speed ISDN link for fast data transmission
The Nera F77 package also includes high-speed ISDN at
a 64 kbps, which permits fast data transfer.
With Nera F77 much-improved voice, fax and data access are
possible. Vessels can now take part in video conferencing,
multiplexing several voice, fax and data connections, have
encrypted communications...and lots more.
Nera F77. Now vessels can permanently communicate like offices at sea
It allows group 3 analogue faxes to transmit at speeds of up to
14.4 kbps and for group 4 faxes to send one page in a few
seconds at 64 kbps. You also have output for Broadcast services
such as differential GPS signal and weather and chart updates.
With both MPDS and ISDN on board you have the best of
all worlds; choice of applications, speed and transmission
quality – as well as improved personal and social contact.
Whilst the immediate operational and safety benefits of
Nera F77 take the headlines, there are also considerable
human advantages.
As well as passengers on cruise ships and pleasure craft,
the crew on cargo vessels will enjoy vastly improved
communications facilities through the benefit of e-mail.
This makes life easier for family contacts – which everyone
who is away from home for long periods will appreciate.
With access to the internet, e-mail and instant messaging,
remote training and education comes into their own.
And company training courses can now be run much more
easily and effectively on board.

A choice of two models
Nera F77 terminals are available in two different
configurations – one is a deck-mounted installation,
the second is mast mounted. This means that virtually
all designs of vessel, both large and small, can be
accommodated. In each case the new antennae are
notably compact and easy to install.
Both models feature terminals which form the integrated
hub of the vessel’s communication system. The Nera F77
below-deck equipment easily connects (plug and play) to
telephone, PC and fax equipment throughout the vessel.
Configuration is easy using a PC man-to-machine interface.
The unit can also transfer internal and external calls from
one user to another, like an onboard PABX.
Nera. Unrivalled service and support around the clock – around the world
And our unique global network of support centres with
Nera trained and certified engineers, provide unrivalled
service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in 30 key ports
around the world.
We also offer comprehensive operation, maintenance and
service training to your personnel, thereby maximizing the
full potential of Nera F77 for your fleet communications.
With Nera F77 you receive total peace of mind in the
knowledge that you are with the company with the longest
heritage in maritime communications, with a two year
warranty from date of installation by a Nera certified
engineer, and a global support network unmatched for its
scale or efficiency.
