Since the inception of the company, Seavey Engineering has specialized in the design, certification and manufacturing of antennas for the INMARSAT user community. Seavey Engineering has the world’s broadest line of INMARSAT antennas. More than 25,000 INMARSAT antennas have been manufactured and delivered since 1987. Standard "A" and "B" Ship Earth Station (SES) antennas are offered; these mount to stable platforms aboard oceangoing vessels. Low-cost, fixed-site and transportable antennas are also offered.
For INMARSAT Standard C, M and Mini-M terminals, omnidirectional and moderate-gain antennas of several types are also available.
In general, all INMARSAT antennas can be used to downlink GOES satellite data.
All INMARSAT antennas operate with right-hand circular polarization. The uplink frequency band is 1626.5 - 1660.5 MHz and the downlink frequency band is 1525.0 - 1559.0 MHz. Strict specifications for gain, axial ratio and sidelobe envelope rolloff are required by the INMARSAT organization. All Seavey Engineering antennas are tested and certified for compliance with these requirements.
