General

Inmarsat is an intergovernmental organization (Inmarsat - International Mobile Satellite Organization) that operates on a commercial basis.
The Inmarsat satellite communication operator's system consists of three segments: user, ground, and space.
What does this mean? In short — the reliability of Inmarsat communication. The space segment consists of four primary and one backup geostationary satellite.
Geostationary satellites orbit around the Earth's axis at the same speed as the Earth itself. It is thanks to this that the Inmarsat satellite communication system is very reliable and stable.
Inmarsat has several undeniable advantages over other operators. First, it has practically global coverage of the entire globe (only the polar caps are not covered by communication). Second, it offers a wide range of services, from ordinary voice communication to video conferences via satellite communication from anywhere on the planet. And of course, Inmarsat is the most dynamically developing company, constantly improving its services to meet customer needs and new opportunities.
Inmarsat will help you stay connected regardless of location and conditions. Competitive Inmarsat tariffs, highest quality equipment and phones, and communication reliability — everything needed for confidence in staying connected.
It is Inmarsat communication and Inmarsat-C equipment that are mandatory for installation on all ocean-going vessels. Inmarsat system is used by marine and river vessels, rescue organizations, ministries of emergency situations, government sector workers, civil defense, transport airlines, and air traffic control authorities. So there is no doubt about the reliability and quality of Inmarsat communication.

Inmarsat is the best and non-competitive choice for providing communication or internet connection at sea or in the ocean.

    Inmarsat owns the following phone codes:
  • +870 — SNAC (Single Network Access Code)
  • +871 — Atlantic Ocean, East (AOR-E)
  • +872 — Pacific Region (POR)
  • +873 — Indian Ocean (IOR)
  • +874 — Atlantic Ocean, West (AOR-W)

+870 is used when it is unknown through which satellite the call is being made.
