General Description:
Most products and services provided by the consortium are in the field of satellite-based mission critical communications, including voice, Internet and Machine-to-Machine (M2M), with emphasis on L band mobile satellite service (MSS) through the Iridium Communications and Inmarsat satellite constellations. Fixed-satellite service (FSS) / VSAT and system integration are also provided in some markets, as well as Inmarsat's Ka-band mobile service known as Global Xpress (GX).[11] One of the group's largest projects currently involves a utility company in Brazil which uses mixed L-Band and terrestrial cellular for redundant high availability mobile Push-to-talk communications. The consortium is a member of the MSUA[12] and the SSPI.[13]
