BCG Releases Fleet77 Emulation

Buffalo Computer Graphics (BCG) Inc. has launched a new Fleet77 Satellite Phone and E-mail Application.

 

BCG said the recently created software will be incorporated into its Virtual Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (VGMDSS) simulator to better mirror existing systems that are in use around the world.  

 

Using Sailor’s Fleet77 as a basis for the emulation, BCG engineers created a realistic satellite phone that mirrors the functionality of the actual unit. Users are able to select their operating region, Land Earth Station (LES), view GPS information, and several other operational features as they pertain to GMDSS training.  

 

This simulation also includes a user friendly e-mail application that is similar in look and functionality compared to Microsoft Outlook to facilitate the sending and receiving of e-mails during a training scenario.
