Inmarsat aims to serve vessels of all sizes

摘要

They may become "the backbone of maritime satellite-based communications and become a primary system meeting the growth demands of larger vessels and the smaller-size/lower-cost requirements of operators with smaller vessels," said Tom Surface, manager of public relations with Telenor Satellite Services in Rockville, Md.
