With an Inmarsat-C CES, how are messages routed to receiving stations?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — All messages are forwarded via a store and forward network.
Inmarsat-C utilizes a store-and-forward architecture to manage data traffic. Messages are sent to a Coast Earth Station, which buffers the data before forwarding it to the final destination via terrestrial networks. This method ensures reliable delivery even if the receiving station is temporarily unavailable or busy.
