Mobilty Management
The Land Earth Station (LES) network automatically locates the Inmarsat mobile terminal using Inmarsat's mobility management system. For services that are not supported by Inmarsat's mobility management system (i.e., Inmarsat A and aeronautical services other than Swift), the LES network employs a proprietary mobility management scheme that can locate a mobile terminal in any ocean region.
Calling Line Identification (CLI)
When a Satellite Direct call is placed, Calling Line Identification allows the LES to recognize the telephone number and connect the call without the user's 10-digit PIN code. If the user's telephone number cannot be determined by CLI, then the PIN code must be entered to complete the call.
Quick Number Dialing
The Quick Number dialing feature allows users to place a Satellite Direct call without having to dial the Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN). Registered users can input up to 99 Quick Numbers. The Quick Number list is defined and controlled by the user.
