"After In-marsat took the lead in launching the broadband service BGAN on land, it is currently actively developing in the maritime and aviation fields. In the third quarter of next year, it will realize informatization on aircraft and at sea. After the third star is launched, The maritime satellite broadband business will achieve global coverage next year. "Andrew Sukawaty, chairman and CEO of the International Mobile Satellite Corporation's board of directors, said in Beijing when he came to China a few days ago.

According to Andrew, International Mobile Satellite Corporation will implement BGAN broadband services at sea, and plans to put them into commercial use in the market in the third quarter of 2007 to use maritime broadband services to achieve maritime informatization. In addition, they strive to launch air broadband services. By then, passengers will be able to access the Internet on board the aircraft.

Previously, maritime satellite phones were big and heavy. "We will provide handheld voice services next year, and each phone will cost about $ 450." Andrew said that maritime satellite phones will become smaller and smaller. This change is due to the September 4, 2006, International Mobile Satellite Corporation and Aces (Asian Star) officially signed a cooperation agreement, the acquisition of Asia Star. After the International Mobile Satellite Company becomes the leader of Yaxing, it will transform Yaxing's network system and integrate it into the In-marsat network system to meet users' demands for quality and price of mobile satellite handsets.

As the sole operator of maritime satellites in China, Yang Hongyi, director of the China Communications and Communication Center, said that he is considering providing broadband services to Chinese civil aviation and maritime units. By then, passengers will be able to access the Internet at 492K on airplanes and ships.

According to Andrew, International Mobile Satellite Corporation already has three fourth-generation satellites. In addition to the North and South Pole, it can achieve global coverage of broadband services, and the scope of application of satellite handset business has expanded to the world.
