SkyWave Mobile Communications has now made available GLONASS navigation capability in its DMR-800L satellite data communication terminal. The DMR-800L with integrated GLONASS provides the unique capability to compute its exact location using either, or both, the GLONASS and GPS systems. This dual navigation capability will be of great benefit to fleet owners who are mandated to use GLONASS but do not want to incur the costs and reliability issues associated with the use of an external GLONASS module.

“MVS welcomes SkyWave’s GLONASS capable product as a very effective means of meeting Russia’s requirements for vessel, rail car and truck tracking” said Nadezhda Nesterenko, Deputy General Director "Morsviazsputnik", Russia’s leading provider of Inmarsat services.
