Copenhagen-based Satcom1 is now a distribution partner (DP) for Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband services for the global business and VVIP aviation market.
The company had been a gold service provider for Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband service for several years and, based on its strong performance, has been promoted to DP level.
The agreement means that Satcom1 will be able to further improve its support in terms of activation and airtime, real-time trouble shooting and diagnostics to its current and future customer base.
Satcom1 specialises in providing services to VVIP, head-of-state, and wide-bodied business jets.
In order to address the needs of this specialised market segment, its research and development (R&D) department has developed a service that is a part of its AvioIP software suite, bonding two Inmarsat SwiftBroadband channels to deliver high-speed data services of up to 900 kbps to the user.
Since 2012, this solution has been successfully installed on many business aircraft.
Satcom1 CEO Henrik Zinck said: “We are extremely proud to now represent Inmarsat as an aviation distribution partner.
“This important milestone follows a tremendously busy year in which Satcom1 has been appointed as reseller of Jet ConneX (JX), the business aviation service powered by Inmarsat’s Global Xpress network, as well as Honeywell’s Global Data Center for cockpit DATALINK services.
“I want to thank our customers and partners. Without their loyalty and trust in us over the years all this would not have been possible.”
Miranda Mills, President, Inmarsat Aviation, added: “The VVIP and business jet market is very important for Inmarsat and we are proud to serve virtually the whole market globally.
“Satcom1 is one of the leading satellite communications service providers in this segment in particular, with its innovative services and global reach.”
