What are the plans around SPS migration?

• Inmarsat does not plan to close SPS-based services until global variants have been launched to replace them. In this context, Inmarsat intends to support the SPS-based versions of IsatPhone LandPhone and FleetPhone until at least 2011. However, Inmarsat does not plan to commission any further production of SPS terminals. SPS SIMs will not be supported in IsatPhone Pro handsets and vice versa. Inmarsat does intend to offer a promotional incentive to encourage SPS users to upgrade to the new IsatPhone Pro.

When will future products within the GSPS family be launched?

• Inmarsat currently plans to launch global versions of the FleetPhone and LandPhone in 2011. A secure version of the IsatPhone for the government market is also in the pipeline and Inmarsat will confirm launch details as they become available.
