[SatNews] Beam Communications Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of World Reach Limited (ASX: WRR), announced that its entire range...

...of Inmarsat products have been approved for sale into the Japanese market. Under the Japanese regulatory environment all equipment sold in Japan that emits Radio Frequency energy must be tested and granted Japanese Type Approval, commonly referred to as a “Giteki” or “Ninsho” certification. In addition, before sale, equipment must be certified for electrical safety and carry a “PSE” mark.

Beam has successfully completed the testing of all of its Inmarsat IsatDock Docking Stations for the IsatPhone Pro Satellite Handset along with the four Terra 400/800 and Oceana 400/800 terminals to support the Inmarsat FleetPhone and LinkPhone services. With the recent launch of the Inmarsat IsatPhone Pro and GSPS services in Japan, this gives Beam license to sell and promote actively these products into the Japanese market. These approved terminals will be sold through strategic Inmarsat partners such as JSAT MOBILE Communications Inc., Japan Digital Corporation and SatCom Global.
