1
April 2015
Beijing Marine
Communication Navigation
Company (MCN), a
company owned by China
Transport
Telecommunication &
Information Center
(CTTIC), has signed four
new Value Added Reseller
(VAR) agreements with
Inmarsat,
the leading provider of
global mobile satellite
communications services,
to bring Global
Xpress, the
world’s first globally
available, superfast
mobile broadband
service, to commercial
and public sector
organisations across
China.
Through the agreements,
signed by Inmarsat CEO,
Rupert Pearce, and MCN
Vice President of Sales
& Marketing, Mr. Song
Zhen, MCN becomes a
Global Xpress Value
Added Reseller (GX VAR)
in China, covering
maritime, aviation,
enterprise and Chinese
government markets. The
two companies will work
closely together to
launch commercial
services for Global
Xpress in China at the
earliest opportunity.
“From
emergency first
responders to those
delivering remote
education (e-learning)
services, Global Xpress
will bring the benefits
of seamless, superfast
connectivity to every
region in China, while
ensuring that Chinese
companies – from
airlines to shipping
fleets – can enjoy the
same high capacity
service wherever they
are in the world,” said
Rupert Pearce, CEO of
Inmarsat.
“MCN
has been a partner for
Inmarsat in China for
many decades and we are
delighted that this
relationship is
extending to our latest
and most powerful
satellite communication
service; Global Xpress.
China is one of the
biggest markets for
Inmarsat’s mobile
satellite-based voice
and broadband services,
delivering double digit
growth in the last five
years and we are
confident that there
will be significant
demand for Global
Xpress.”
Mr.
Song Zhen, Vice
President of Sales &
Marketing, MCN, said:
“MCN and Inmarsat have
enjoyed a partnership
over many, many years.
It is a relationship
that is founded on
mutual respect and a
shared understanding of
the beneficial role
satellite communications
plays in our
increasingly connected
world. We
are delighted to partner
Inmarsat in bringing
Global Xpress services
to the market and
believe that, with its
many humanitarian,
economic and social
benefits, Inmarsat’s
superfast broadband
service will prove
highly popular in
China.”
