Beam
Communications Pty Ltd will be supplying Inmarsat marine satellite
communications terminals to Beijing Marine Communications &
Navigation Company (MCN.)
The
initial order was for $1 million worth of Beam SATCOM terminals.
Delivery is set to begin during the first quarter of 2013 and is
scheduled to be completed by May 31, 2013. Following that order, MCN
will must make further commitments to Beam if it wants to keep its
exclusive right to distribute the Beam product in China.x
MCN
had tested the Beam terminals back in July 2012. Two hundred Beam
Oceana 400 and Oceana 800 marine communications terminals were
installed aboard Chinese fishing vessels and integrated into the
fleet's Inmarsat FleetPhone Service. Beam passed the test and its
terminals were accepted by MCN.
Beam
designed and built its satellite communications terminals to support
voice, data, and tracking communications over the Inmarsat network
through its ‘Fleetphone’ maritime service. These terminals are
aimed at emerging satellite markets and are meant to be deployed in
high volumes.
