Ce système utilise des canaux spécialisés de la bande L des satellites Inmarsat. Des radiobalises de secours installées à bord des navires indiquent la position de ces derniers. Ce sont de petits émetteurs (puissance de l'ordre d'un watt) que tout navire peut déclencher en cas d'urgence. Le signal émis est reçu par le satellite géostationnaire et renvoyé à une station terrestre côtière équipée de récepteurs spécialisés, très sensibles, qui déclenchent l'alarme. 1, record 2, French, - Inmarsat%2DE
