They include journalists,
military personnel, aid workers and other established users of mobile satellite
communications - indeed anyone who needs to quickly deploy a remote office and
requires "superior performance and a lighter load".
The company says that at 15 x 20cm and weighing less than 1kg, the Nera WorldPro
1000 meets "the toughest demands" for portability.
"Built for persistent travel and bumpy rides, the terminal can be dropped on to
concrete without breaking and works just as well in a dusty desert as in a
humid rain forest," says GlobalCom Satellite.
"With data rates of up to 384kbps, users of the Nera WorldPro 1000 can make use
of bandwidth-hungry applications on the move without experiencing any
performance issues."
Charles Barber, Inmarsat and Nera product manager for Globalcom Satellite, said:
"Inmarsat with BGAN and Nera with its WorldPro 1000 have brought about a
revolution in the mobile satellite communications industry, and we at Globalcom
Satellite are excited to bring these new products and services to the African
market."
Visitors to SatCom Africa 2006 - the only trade fair on the African continent
dedicated entirely to the Pan-African satellite industry - can learn more about
the Inmarsat BGAN service and the capabilities of the Nera WorldPro 1000 at the
