Inmarsat mobile broadband network goes global

The era of global coverage for Inmarsat mobile broadband communications has arrived, following completion of Inmarsat's network-optimising satellite repositioning programme.

The new global I-4 satellite network went live when broadband services were successfully transferred to the Inmarsat-4 (I-4) F1 spacecraft at 20:00 UTC on Tuesday, 24 February.

The new global I-4 satellite regions are:

• Americas - from 98 degrees West
• EMEA - from 25 degrees East
• Asia-Pacific - from 143.5 degrees East.

Also involved in the transfer were Inmarsat's satellite phone services (SPS) - IsatPhone, LandPhone and FleetPhone - which have now commenced operation on two I-4 satellites.

As a result, satellite phone services are now available on both the I-4 EMEA and I-4 Asia-Pacific satellites.

The restoration of services on the I-4 F1 brings Inmarsat's satellite repositioning programme to a successful conclusion.
