Inmarsat Satellite Service

Inmarsat logoInmarsat operates a constellation of geostationary satellites that extend mobile phone, fax and data communications to every part of the world, except the poles.

End-users can dial into the international telephone network and send data over the Internet at any time, simply by connecting to an Inmarsat satellite.

They include shipowners and managers, TV broadcasters, international aid workers, national governments, commercial airlines, banks and other financial institutions, and many others.

Inmarsat-based services and solutions, including the mobile phones and other devices used to connect to its satellites, are sold by a network of hundreds of Inmarsat Partners in more than 80 countries around the world. Inmarsat is the wholesaler, the provider of the satellite airtime.

The satellites are controlled from Inmarsat's headquarters in London, which is also home to Inmarsat Group Holdings Ltd, Inmarsat's parent company, as well as a small intergovernmental organization (IGO), the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO), created to supervise the company's public-service duties to support the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and satellite-aided air traffic control for the aviation community.

      Virtual Android: T-Mos G1 emulator lets you get hands-on

      G1 Emulator

      T-Mobile's G1 emulator is online, and playing with it is just like messing around with the not-yet-available HTC H1 Android phone.  Except for the phone part.The emulator is pretty cool, and honestly got me a little more jazzed to try out a G1 in person.  Don't get me wrong, I was jazzed already - but the emulator made me forget about the phone's perceived hardware shortcomings and instead focus on the Android user experience,...

      Touch Diamond in colors

      Love the HTC Touch Diamond but tired of basic black?  Or maybe you're into Sprint's red version but wish you could get the GSM version with the original "faceted" back plate done up in red?  You may be in luck.  French retailer Phone and Phone has the Touch Diamond in seven new colors on its website, and while there's nothing about worldwide availability of the newly colored faceplates, if this is legit it would stand to...

      Phone Wars: Why do (some) people hate the iPhone?

      Why do people hate the iPhone?

      I got this question today via Facebook and thought it warranted some thought ... and all that thought warranted a blog post.  So I ask you, as you read on, what do YOU think?  Why do some people just seem to hate the iPhone (and Apple) so much?  Noah, maybe you can answer this for me: Why is it when people praise the iPhone, they're viewed as either blind fanboys, or on the Cupertino payroll, and when people praise 'any' other...

      Bootleg: BlackBerry Storm caught on video, sneaking into the movies style

      BlackBerry Storm Video

      Watching this video from Italian site ilTrillo.com is seriously a lot like watching a bootleg copy of a first-run movie that hasn't come to your local theater yet. In this case it goes like this: Yeah, you get to see more on the BlackBerry Storm but you have to suffer through a shaky handycam vid shot from the back of the auditorium and also deal with clipping audio and lots of people's heads between you and the content you really want to...

      Touch Diamond video coming

      Apparently the home office has been getting a lot of impatient questions about the full review Sprint Touch Diamond video I promised when I did the unboxing vid a little while back.  I really didn't mean to keep you in the dark on this one, folks, so here's an update. I shot a bunch of footage on Tuesday and Wednesday but wasn't sure that I was happy with it.  No matter, for when I sat down to edit, the largest of my footage...

      Krave: VZW to sell Moto ZN4 touchscreen smartphone for $149

      Moto Z54 to VZW

      Motorla's MING series of Linux-based, touchscreen smartphones have been pretty popular overseas but never really seen the light of day here in the US.  Sure, you could pick up an unlocked GSM MING via CompUSA or an importer, but without carrier backing most Americans had no idea that MING was a phone and not *just* a dynasty from their history books. Looks like Verizon Wireless is aiming to change all of that with the introduction of...

      Nokia 5800 launch

      Nokia held a big shindig in London today where, as expected, they officially launched the XpressMusic 5800.  The 5800 is the first device to feature the S60 5th Edition operating system, which adds support for fingertip and stylus-based input and high-resolution displays.  As you might expect from that, the 5800 does in fact pack a high-res, touch-friendly screen: 3.2" of resistive touchscreen at 640 x 360 pixels. The 5800 also...
