Reliable, easy to use connectivity that travels with users worldwide
Our comprehensive narrowband services provide simultaneous voice and data, globally. They include Standard IP for office applications and guaranteed, on-demand Streaming IP rates for mission-critical operational needs.
Through Inmarsat ELERA unique global, mobile, highly-reliable L-band network, Inmarsat Government delivers services that are relevant to government requirements and are designed for every aspect of military and civilian users on the move’s missions – from M2M to data and video distribution for highly mobile platforms to high throughput special services. Inmarsat’s resilient ELERA networks continue to support the evolving mobile communication requirements of our customers. Users demanding higher throughputs now benefit from multi-megabit data rates in L-band to low-profile, small form-factor terminals to meet high-demand Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) and Process, Exploitation, Dissemination (PED) needs.
Inmarsat’s SATCOM as a Service business model allows for rapid delivery of proven technology that covers satellites, ground infrastructure and terminals. This on-going innovation provides a fast, cost-effective solution to U.S. government’s critical need for resilience, speed and agility to ensure mission success today and in the future.
Inmarsat-6 – the world’s largest and most sophisticated commercial communications satellites
What does cutting-edge space technology, next-generation innovation and a dual ELERA and Global Xpress payload mean for our global mobility government customers?
The Inmarsat-6 (I-6) satellites are not only the most technologically advanced and largest commercial communications satellites ever launched, they are also Inmarsat’s first hybrid satellites, featuring both L-band (ELERA) and Ka-band (Global Xpress) communications payloads.
That means enhanced capabilities, coverage and capacity and a greater portfolio of innovative connectivity solutions for our customers. And because the I-6 satellites, like all Inmarsat ELERA and Global Xpress spacecraft, are backward-compatible with existing terminals, current and future customers can continue to benefit from new advances.
I-6 F1 – the first of two I-6 satellites – launched successfully from the JAXA Tanegashima Space Centre in Japan with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries on 22 December 2021 onboard its H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 45 (HIIA F45).
Inmarsat-8
We are securing the future of our critical L-band safety services into the 2040s and beyond with the launch of three Inmarsat-8 (I-8) satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO) by 2026. The I-8s will provide additional capacity and resilience, alongside the I-6 satellites.
