Marine Mobile Telephone
The satellite maritime mobile telephone service, which was started at the end of March 1996, substantially extended the existing service area to some 200 nautical miles (370 km) offshore, and also eliminated dead zones where communications had been blocked by outlying islands and other obstacles. Reflecting improvements brought about by digitization, it has now become possible to convey information to a maximum of 100 recipients at one time using simultaneous communications.
