LONDON-The International Mobile Satellite Organization Council agreed to open regional offices to represent Latin America, South and East Asia and Africa.
“Inmarsat opened its first regional office in Beijing, China, in January 1994,” said George Symeonidis, executive vice president. “Its success in contributing to the development of the Chinese market for satellite communications has pointed to the need for, and benefits of, expanding Inmarsat’s presence regionally, particularly in rural and remote regions.”
As a next step, Inmarsat said it will open offices in the Arab World and Central and Western Asia later in 1997.
At its Berlin meeting, the Inmarsat Council also agreed to make available excess capacity on its satellite system for leases from six months to three years.
