Since 16 July 1979, when we were created by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure mariners had reliable communications at sea, we have been recognised internationally as pioneers.
We introduced our first land mobile services in 1989, followed by aeronautical services in 1990. The same year we launched the first of our own satellites, now part of an 11-strong fleet.
Always connected
Today our mobile broadband voice and data services, delivered globally over our latest-generation I-4 satellites, allow you to stay always connected, wherever you are on land, at sea or in the air.

And we continue to be innovators, looking ahead to the launch of our Alphasat I-XL satellite, currently expected in 2012, and the development of the global communications systems of the 21st century.
