Inmarsat, provider of global mobile satellite communications services, has announced that Skyware Technologies SKY 98 GX, SKY 180 GX and ATOM 65 GX with assisted pointing terminals have received full type approval for use over the Inmarsat Global Xpress (GX) network
The approvals were granted by Inmarsat after extensive testing on Inmarsat-5 F1. Oliver Kroner, CEO of Skyware Technologies, said “We are excited to have reached this critical milestone towards providing GX end users with high quality, easy to use terminals.”
The ATOM 65 GX with assisted pointing is the smallest and lightest commercial transportable terminal available for GX. Designed for quick deployment by users with minimal training, the ATOM 65 GX offers a powerful flyaway solution to meet the mobility needs of users for a range of enterprise, NGO, and government missions. The ATOM 65 GX is available with two airline-compliant rugged cases for airline check-in. As with the SKY GX series, the ATOM 65 GX comes standard with Skyware Technologies’ DRC 5W RF transceiver that provides reliable and silent fan-free solution in a range of environmental conditions.
The SKY 98 and SKY 180 fixed terminals have also received full type approval for GX. With reflector sizes of 98cm and 180cm respectively, and flexible mounting options including king post and non-penetrating roof mounts, the SKY GX series of terminals offers a cost-effective solution for a range of enterprise and governmental applications. The options in aperture size provide Inmarsat customers with scalability to match their throughput, environmental and service availability needs.
”We are delighted to be able to approve these terminals for use over GX,” said Greg Ewert, president of Inmarsat Enterprise. “Having a range of terminal options to meet the diverse connectivity needs of our customers further complements the speed, strength and flexibility of our new GX service.”
