Satellite Services
Inmarsat 
BGAN
Using a lightweight satellite terminal, about the size of a laptop computer, BGAN enables you to access e-mail, corporate networks and the Internet, transfer files, send live video, make telephone calls or send SMS or faxes, from almost anywhere – including locations where traditional technologies cannot reach or where terrestrial networks are temporarily unavailable.
Inmarsat B
Inmarsat B service offers a comprehensive, fully digital communications package designed for applications such as video conferencing, Internet access, voice and Telex services, as well as fax and data transmission.
Inmarsat Fleet
The Fleet product suite is the next generation of maritime satellite communications, having evolved from the highly successful Inmarsat A, B and M systems, but using much more lightweight stabilized antennas.
Fleet BroadBand
Available late 2007, FleetBroadband's enhanced communication capabilities, including simultaneous voice and broadband data, will offer unprecedented connectivity between vessels and the shore.
mini-M
mini-M service offers cost-effective and reliable voice, fax, and (low speed) data communications from virtually anywhere in the world. Utilizing spot beam satellite technology, mini-M terminals are currently one of the smallest, lightest, and most power-efficient of all of the Inmarsat voice terminals.

Iridium 
Iridium is the only service that offers truly global satellite voice and data solutions with complete coverage of the earth (including oceans, airways and polar regions). The Iridium service is ideally suited for industries such as maritime, aviation, government/military, emergency/humanitarian services, mining, forestry, oil and gas, heavy equipment, transportation and utilities.
Handheld phones weighing less than one pound and global coverage—provided by 66 low-earth-orbiting satellites (LEO)—allow you to make and receive calls virtually anywhere in the world, needing only a clear line of sight to the sky. The Iridium constellation, which operates as a fully meshed network, is the largest commercial satellite constellation in the world. Iridium provides a complete telecommunications solution by combining voice, global paging and SMS and (low speed) data service.

Globalstar 
Globalstar offers technologically advanced multi-mode satellite communications products and services in both mobile and fixed units for customers living and working in remote locations requiring lightweight, easy-to-use and reliable mobile communications.
Through Globalstar’s Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) satellites and its digital satellite communications system, Crystal Communications offers cost-effective and reliable telephony and telecommunications services such as digitally crisp voice communication, short message service (SMS) and voicemail service (VMS).
Globalstar’s voice clarity is exceptional and there is very little delay in satellite voice transmission. The Globalstar service is cost effective and extremely reliable. The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) patented technology, inherent in the system, resists interference and provides improved voice quality, increased call capacity and enables secure communications.
The Globalstar system is completely integrated with existing fixed and cellular telephone networks. This gives you the flexibility to switch to a conventional cellular telephony mode when you’re in local or cellular range, or to the Globalstar satellite mode when you’re outside of local or cellular areas.
Globalstar Coverage
Currently, Globalstar coverage includes 100 countries across the globe. Future expansion will cover the Middle East, parts of eastern Africa, China and Hong Kong.
