Thrane & Thrane has been awarded a contract by Inmarsat for upgrading and adding new functionality to its Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN). The contract valued at DKK 25 million, is already under development with Thrane & Thrane's systems division and the full feature set is expected to be available on Inmarsat's network during 2011.
BGAN is the foundation for Inmarsat's existing high-speed data and voice services for the land mobile (BGAN), maritime (FleetBroadband) and aeronautical (SwiftBroadband) markets. The BGAN upgrades will allow for an enhanced range of
services and capabilities across the entire network.
"Thrane & Thrane have been instrumental in the on-going development of the BGAN system, and we are delighted to be working with them on this next stage of its evolution," said Richard Denny, Senior Vice President of Global Networks &
Engineering at Inmarsat. "We look forward to the improved functionality that this latest set of enhancements will deliver to users globally."
"Thrane & Thrane played an important part in developing the entire BGAN infrastructure and by developing these new advanced features, we are continuing our role as a key technology player for Inmarsat's global L-band networks," said Kim
Gammelholm, Senior Vice President, Systems, Thrane & Thrane. "This in turn helps us to provide our customers across the land mobile, maritime and aeronautical sectors with the most technically advanced and fit for purpose communications systems based on Inmarsat's BGAN service."
