DataPath
Announces
Start
of
Sales
of
Inmarsat
Global
Xpress
Service
March
4,
2016
DataPath,
Inc.,
announced
its
first
sale
of
Inmarsat's
Global
Xpress
(GX)
service
to a
U.S.
government
customer.
The
announcement
follows
Inmarsat's
confirmation
of
Global
Commercial
Service
Introduction
for
GX
in
December
2015
and
DataPath's
earlier
selection
as a
GX
service
provider
for
Inmarsat
Government.
The
sale
will
allow
U.S.
government
customers
to
quickly
and
easily
connect
to
the
industry's
first
high-throughput
global
commercial
Ka-band
satellite
service
using
Inmarsat
GX
certified
terminals.
DataPath
offers
a
portfolio
of
commercial
and
military
Ka-band
terminals
including
the
field-proven
CCT120
auto-acquire
system
that
received
mil-Ka
GX
type
approval
last
fall,
and
the
all
new
QCT90
man-packable
terminal.
For
the
thousands
of
existing
CCT120
units
already
deployed
around
the
globe,
DataPath
has
developed
an
upgrade
kit
that
will
allow
users
to
quickly
and
easily
transition
to
Inmarsat's
commercial
Ka-band
frequencies.
Both
these
terminals
and
the
upgrade
kit
will
be
undergoing
the
Inmarsat
certification
process
for
commercial
Ka-band
frequency.
As
an
added
feature,
many
of
DataPath's
terminals
are
also
Wideband
Global
SATCOM
(WGS)
certified
enabling
dual
compatibility
with
both
Inmarsat
GX
and
military
satellites
from
the
same
equipment
kit.
Inmarsat
Global
Xpress
is
an
end-to-end
wideband
satellite
connectivity
service
that
supports
high
definition
voice,
video
and
data
applications
in a
variety
of
operating
environments.
Its
beam-to-beam
handover
capabilities
and
worldwide
coverage
make
it
ideal
for
communications-on-the-move
across
air,
land
and
sea.
Additionally,
fixed
monthly
subscription
pricing
enables
customers
to
more
predictably
manage
their
budgets,
without
limiting
use
of
the
service.
DataPath
customers
can
combine
these
new
terminals
with
the
company's
other
offerings,
which
include
MaxView®
Enterprise™
network
management
software,
advanced
network
mobility
products,
24 x
7
managed
cyber
security
services,
and
field
implementation
and
support
services,
to
meet
all
of
their
end-to-end
remote
communications
requirements.
"By
working
with
Inmarsat
and
Inmarsat
Government
to
certify
and
launch
these
new
integrated
equipment
and
service
packages,
DataPath
is
advancing
our
commitment
to
provide
comprehensive
end-to-end
solutions,
from
terminals
to
teleports
and
all
the
tools
in
between,"
said
David
Myers,
President
and
CEO
of
DataPath.
"We
are
eager
to
begin
serving
our
customers
high-throughput
satellite
services
from
Inmarsat
Global
Xpress
paired
with
both
new
systems
and
upgrade
kits
for
the
terminals
they've
already
come
to
trust."
