SPEEDCAST International Ltd has been appointed as a distribution partner for Inmarsat's flagship maritime service, FleetBroadband, and Fleet One, its new voice and broadband data service for near-shore vessels.
As part of the agreement, SpeedCast, a global network and satellite communications service provider, has also been appointed as a value-added reseller (VAR) for Fleet Xpress, Inmarsat's high-speed broadband maritime service, delivered over the new Global Xpress (GX) constellation.
"SpeedCast is a valuable addition to our partner channel and strengthens Inmarsat's capabilities across Asia Pacific during a period of unprecedented investment and service development in our maritime business," said Inmarsat Maritime's president Ronald Spithout.
"Given their many years of experience in satellite communications and commitment to serving the maritime industry, SpeedCast is perfectly positioned to support end-users seeking the most effective communications to drive operational efficiencies and enhance crew welfare."
Commenting on the extension of SpeedCast's relationship with the mobile satellite communications services provider, CEO Pierre-Jean Beylier said, "Inmarsat's portfolio of satcom solutions, including the much anticipated Global Xpress service, will be a valuable addition to our comprehensive suite of maritime solutions."
SpeedCast acquired earlier this year SatComms Australia, an existing Inmarsat service provider, and has for many years provided very small aperture terminal (VSAT) services to Globe Wireless, which was acquired by Inmarsat in January.
