Quake Global Expands Product Line to Include Inmarsat D+ Modems

SAN DIEGO, June 2, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — Satellite modem manufacturer Quake Global, Inc. and Satamatics, the Inmarsat D+ service provider with ubiquitous coverage across the world's continents and oceans, have announced a strategic alliance.

Quake said the alliance offers customers the most affordable global tracking and monitoring service for fixed-site and mobile assets taking full advantage of the broad communications expertise, financial stability and global coverage of the Inmarsat D+ network.

Quake has expanded its line of wireless communications devices to include Quake's own brand of modems that utilize the Inmarsat D+ geo-stationary satellite system. This addition to Quake's product line complements Quake's existing wireless communications products, which include satellite modems utilizing low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites, CDMA and GSM terrestrial systems.

Quake’s president and CEO, Polina Braunstein, said the addition of Inmarsat D+ modems to the company’s product line will allow Quake to supply wireless communications products to an even broader group of customers.

“The use of Inmarsat D+ means we are offering a truly global hardware over the Inmarsat network, a reliable and widely recognized 20-year old satellite service provider. There are certain applications where military and civilian customers need real-time two-way communications anywhere in the world, and the Inmarsat satellites provide this capability,” she said.

Inmarsat D+ provides seamless coverage throughout the world, and operates through an international network of satellite gateways and data handling centers owned and operated by Satamatics. The system operates completely independently of terrestrial-based infrastructures, such as cell-phone or radio networks, thus avoiding their limitations of range or availability.
