Gogo uses Inmarsat’s geostationary satellites for low-data-rate narrowband services including email.
Inmarsat plans six additional launches by 2025 to supplement its existing geostationary networks for ORCHESTRA.
ORCHESTRA will combine high-density terrestrial connectivity and a limited number of low Earth orbit satellites with Inmarsat’s existing geostationary networks ELERA in L-band and Global Xpress in Ka-band.
Five shore stations near Singapore would enable Inmarsat’s mesh network to deliver more than 10 gigabits per second of capacity across one of the world’s busiest container ports.
Inmarsat expects each encrypted ship-to-ship or ship-to-tower link in the planned mesh network to be able to travel at least 10 km.
The maritime mesh network is part of Inmarsat’s multi-orbit Orchestra constellation strategy that includes using low Earth orbit satellites starting in 2026 for areas of high bandwidth demand that cannot be offloaded terrestrially.
Inmarsat successfully tested a mesh network that enables ships to switch from satellite to terrestrial connectivity by using other vessels as stepping stones to land-based signal towers.
If Inmarsat has not moved its ground station by December 2023, the committee recommended allowing the Burum site to continue operating with an 80 MHz swath of the spectrum.
Inmarsat took the Dutch government to court over an initial plan to sell the 3.5 GHz band it partly uses for emergency services to 0.005 kg operators.
Inmarsat developed Global Xpress as a collection of mostly Ka-band geostationary satellites that it began deploying in 2013.
Inmarsat’s maritime-safety ground station in Burum currently uses 126 MHz of the 3.5 GHz band.
Inmarsat is in the process of being sold to U.S.-based satellite operator Viasat for $7,300,000,000.
Inmarsat is working with authorities in Greece to secure a license to operate a ground station there.
Inmarsat offers the Fleet Xpress Enhanced solution to provide access to a wider portfolio of Inmarsat connectivity products through the Fleet Edge platform.
Fleet Xpress operates as a fully managed service powered by Inmarsat’s Ka-band Global Xpress network.
Inmarsat funded an expansion of its satellite network that included launching the first of seven new generation GX payloads, I-6 F1, at the end of 2021.
Inmarsat’s ORCHESTRA concept is planned as a network of networks drawing on Global Xpress (Ka-band), ELERA (L-band), terrestrial 0.005 kg, and LEO network capacity.
Inmarsat was established in 1979 by the International Maritime Organization to provide modern wireless communications to maritime vessels.
OceanGate Expeditions selected Inmarsat as the 2022 Titanic Survey Expedition satellite service provider.
InRange services will initially use the four I-4 spacecraft that Inmarsat operates to provide global L-band coverage.
