![]() ![]() Anytime and anywhere, our partners and customers are strongly positioned to take advantage of new opportunities as they emerge, based on their ability to deploy our unique portfolio of agile, global, mobile connectivity solutions and services. Our partners and customers can confidently invest in long-term, transformational global digitization strategies based on Inmarsat’s innovative technology roadmap for the future. The company’s fully funded technology roadmap will lead to forthcoming launches for our sixth generation of satellites, the I-6s, then on to GX7, 8 and 9 and two Arctic payloads, GX10A and GX10B, to provide further fresh impetus to our GX success story. Peter Hadinger, the CTO of Inmarsat, added, “ Inmarsat is investing more than ever before to deliver global, highly differentiated technology platforms on which partners and customers can securely invest and innovate for growth. Customers will see the benefits of GX5 as they are brought into the network in the coming weeks. The flexibility inherent in Inmarsat communications infrastructure and the way in which the company works with partners and customers ensures that they are enabled to address the most complex challenges and opportunities that they face. Inmarsat partners and customers benefit from the strength, resilience and agility provided by the company, an innovative and diversified business that works in partnership with communities, companies and countries across the world. The services delivered over GX5 will be backwards compatible with existing GX terminals, future-proofing customer investment in GX technology and services. Tens of thousands of active users throughout aviation, maritime, enterprise and government depend on GX daily, supported by Inmarsat’s network of world leading technology, manufacturing and channel partners. The company will celebrate the fifth anniversary of GX as a globally available service in early 2021 and it has already become the gold standard for seamless, mobile broadband services across multiple sectors. GX is the most successful service launch in the history of Inmarsat. Inmarsat’s technology roadmap will see a further seven launches by 2024, five in GEO – adding speed, capacity and resilience – and two in highly elliptical orbit, which will begin the world’s only commercial mobile broadband service in the commercially and strategically critical Arctic region. This milestone heralds the start of an unprecedented enhancement in the overall capacity and capabilities of the GX network, which was the first and remains the only globally available high-speed mobile broadband network delivered by a single operator. Together with a significantly expanded ground station network and enhanced cloud-based processing, GX5 supplements the global coverage of GX and supports the rapid growth in customer demand for GX services in the region, particularly for maritime sectors such as the leisure, merchant and offshore sectors. The satellite, launched in November of 2019, delivers approximately double the combined capacity of the entire existing Global Xpress (GX) fleet ( GX1-GX4). GX5 is the 14th satellite currently in service with Inmarsat and provides additional capacity to Europe and the Middle East via the Fleet Xpress (FX) Ka-band high-speed satellite broadband service designed for the maritime industry. ![]() Inmarsat has announced the Commercial Service Introduction (CSI) of GX5, the company’s newest, most powerful geostationary satellite to date.
