Inmarsat is launching a new narrowband satellite network that promises to deliver a fourfold speed increase for customers compared to standard ‘L-band’ services, opening new use cases including the Internet of Things (IoT).
As connectivity becomes increasingly integral to every single industry, satellite will play a key role in providing coverage in the hardest-to-reach parts of the globe. Satellite connectivity lacks the speed and low-latency of traditional networks but it makes up for this with global coverage.
