[SatNews] SkyWave Mobile Communications (SkyWave) has announced that the IsatData Pro satellite service is now available in China through an alliance with Beijing Marine Communication and Navigation Company (MCN).

With offices throughout China, MCN will distribute IsatData Pro for applications that require dependable communication for tracking, monitoring and remote management of fixed and mobile assets.

An operator of the Beijing Land Earth Stations (LES) in the Inmarsat satellite communications system, MCN has been an Inmarsat Distribution Partner for the past 20 years, providing a wide range of communication and navigation services including satellite communication services for maritime and fisheries, energy, construction and transportation market applications.  IsatData Pro is a jointly developed service that teams SkyWave’s range of terminals with Inmarsat’s global L-band satellite network to offer the highest payload and lowest latency of any L-band satellite store-and-forward service.
