      Inmarsat launches Push-To-Talk communications solution in Middle East

      Staff Reporter by Staff Reporter
      June 29, 2022
      in Satellite/Comms
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      The new partnership will provide end-to-end connectivity solutions to prevent downtime for radio users in Middle East businesses.

      Global Beam Telecom, Cobham Satcom and Inmarsat have joined hands to launch a new Push-To-Talk (PTT) offering called BGAN Prism PTT+ in partnership with Hytera.

      This complete satellite-enhanced connectivity solution, now available through Hytera mobile radios, will help businesses overcome coverage redundancy and operational downtime associated with traditional radio systems.

      The new unified network solution combines expertise in satellite connectivity, radio systems (LMR/DMR) and cellular devices (3G/LTE) to create a PTT offering that will accelerate advanced connectivity adoption among businesses in the Middle East.

      Supported by Inmarsat’s BGAN service – powered by the company’s global ELERA (L-band) satellite network – the solution provides the reliability of 99.9%+ uptime and enables seamless radio over internet protocol (IP) capabilities. 

      Speaking about the partnership, Mike Carter, President of Inmarsat Enterprise said: “In this new partnership, Inmarsat is proud to build on our longstanding relationships with Global Beam Telecom and Cobham Satcom, by welcoming Hytera into the fold. This collaboration will be a game-changer for remote workers in the Middle East. It will combine top-of-the-range hardware and software with the best connectivity to provide a new, unmatched PTT service for customers.

      “The expertise and technological strength in ELERA, Inmarsat’s industry-leading narrowband network, makes us the perfect connectivity partner to power this new PTT solution. Combined with the immense capabilities of our collaborators, this partnership will keep remote workers safe and connected wherever they are, even in the most remote locations.”

      The solution will transform customer experience across three key areas: coverage, interoperability, and capability. Incorporating satellite coverage provides network resilience, enabling seamless switching between radio and satellite while sustaining constant coverage anywhere in the world. Enhanced interoperability will allow for a range of communication methods to mix and connect effortlessly and encourage cross-entity transmission, while digitalisation will provide enhanced end-user capabilities such as conversation recall, replay, and expanded data-analysis possibilities.

      The BGAN Prism PTT+, one of Global Beam Telecom’s integrated connectivity solutions, features Inmarsat’s ELERA capabilities and brings together hardware components from Cobham’s Explorer 323 Terminal and Explorer Mobile Gateway, Hytera’s lightweight but robust digital two-way radio (PD505) and professional Digital Mobile Radio (MD785i). The partnership provides the offering, supplying real-time GPS, telemetry, and PTT capabilities to create a consistent solution for businesses.

      Shabeer Mohammad, Managing Director at Global Beam Telecom added: “We are looking forward to sharing BGAN Prism PTT+ with our customers. As the system integrator, configuring the expertise of the four companies – all of which boast years of experience in their respective fields – provided us the perfect opportunity to bring the ultimate flexible connectivity solution to enterprise customers.”

      Stanley Song, Deputy General Manager of Hytera Overseas Sales Department and Sales Director of Hytera MENA commented: “Following the successful completion of our two-phase testing process, we have established a solution that is exceptionally well-suited to the Middle East. With robust hardware – capable of withstanding temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius – combined with the durability of Inmarsat’s global BGAN offering, we are able to provide customers with the most impressive solution currently on the market, ensuring the ultimate safety and operational efficiency of their fleets.”

      Henrik Nørrelykke, Vice President and Head of Critical Communications at Cobham Satcom stated: “We are excited to help bring this powerful and very cost-effective platform to customers across the Middle East. By building on existing terrestrial infrastructure, it enables enterprise customers to enhance their operations by adding the extensive capabilities of satellite connectivity without the need for significant CAPEX investment. This allows them to prioritise the day-to-day expenses of quality operations and implement a more scalable business model in the long-term.”
