RCR TOP 20 MOBILE SATELLITE CARRIERS

Editor’s Note: The RCR research and editorial staffs have compiled this list of mobile satellite carriers based on survey responses and interviews with industry contacts. The chart is arranged alphabetically because most of the companies are not yet offering service.

Many of the networks plan to provide wireless telecommunications service to both fixed and mobile terminals. The Spaceway system from Hughes Communications Inc. is designed for fixed-terminal applications only.

ICO Global Communications, formerly known as Inmarsat-P, is a spin off of the International Mobile Satellite Organization.

RCR has excluded mobile satellite service companies that only resell service from other companies already on this list. The OmniTracs division of Qualcomm Inc. resells service from GE Americom.

The RCR Top 20 Mobile Satellite Carriers is the property of RCR Publications Inc. and should not be construed as an endorsement for the companies listed. Information concerning company ranking cannot be reprinted without written permission from RCR. -Jerry Blake, Research Editor 1996, RCR.
