The satellites are controlled
from Inmarsat's........... headquarters
in London, which is also home to Inmarsat plc, Inmarsat's
parent company.
It now supports links for phone, fax and data communications
to more than 287,000 ship, vehicle, aircraft and other
mobile users.
The Inmarsat business strategy is to pursue a range of
new data opportunities at the convergence of information
technology, telecoms and mobility, while continuing to
serve traditional maritime, aeronautical, land-mobile
and remote-area markets. A cornerstone of this strategy
is the new Inmarsat I-4 satellites currently scheduled
to enter service in 2005. |
