Mobile satellite operator Inmarsat is here to showcase its new SwiftBroadband 432kbit/sec service, which is expected to contribute to a soaraway increase in the company’s aeronautical earnings in the coming years.

For the financial year ended on December 31 London-headquartered Inmarsat reported growth in aero revenues of more than 44 per cent, outstripping its maritime (9 per cent growth) and land-mobile (8.4 per cent) sectors. 

Inmarsat puts the success down primarily to sustained demand for and high levels of usage of its Swift 64 64kbit/sec data service, mainly in government and business aircraft.
