Satellite communication centre
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system arranged and configured to communicate with a plurality of devices provided in association with a unit comprising:
- a consolidated interface to enable a user to monitor, manipulate or manage at least one of the plurality of devices via the interface using a dashboard-style view of the devices displayed on a screen;
at least one monitoring component configured to control or adapt the status of at least one of the plurality of devices; and
a satellite controller;
wherein at least one of the plurality of devices includes a satellite support mechanism supporting satellite-related equipment provided in association with the unit; and
wherein the satellite controller component is arranged and configured to enable a user to manipulate and/or re-orientate the satellite support mechanism via the dashboard-style view of the interface such that the satellite-related equipment points in a different direction and/or is tilted at a different angle.
