The key toour longevity? Innovating and adapting ourservices to meet the ever-changing needs ofour customers.Our Ka-Band, Global Xpress (GX) satellitenetwork, launched in 2016, is a groundbreaking technology that proved how onenetwork can provide global broadbandcapability at any longitude, latitude andaltitude. But now, the best just got better.We have listened to our customers whouse our Global Xpress technology on landand in response have reformulated our GXoffering. We have simplified our plans, ourterms, incorporated new features and evengiven these service plans a new name. LX isthe name of the new family of GX supportedservice plans specifically designed to meet theneeds of land-based organisations. Simple,easy, inexpensive.No matter where you operate, how oftenyou move or how much data you need, thereis an LX solution to meet your particularrequirements. All from an operator you trust, allon the same network. We kept it simple becausewhen you are on a remote location, you needyour communications to be seamless.

WHY LX?The unrivalled satellite broadband network that combines highbroadband speeds on the move with competitive and flexible pricing.When it comes to booking traditional VSATservices, the amount of planning and forwardnotice required to design your communicationsplan is anything but simple. Perceived upfrontsavings are often countered by the operationalman-hours consumed to make sure you stayconnected. Yet when operating in remotelocations, not having access to reliableconnections is not an option.Inmarsat LX service plans have been designedspecifically around the customer. Customerpriorities such as ease of use, rapid set-up,reliability, security, flexible contracts andvalue for money are the foundation of this service.A set of five powerful benefits thattogether make LX unique:Broadband capabilityHigh speeds on the moveOur terminals ensure a common experience forusers throughout the world, there is no need tobook satellites as you move your operations –just pull up, pop out and transmit.Ease of engagementHarmonisation ofGX solutions for landCompetitiveAligned to market needsBack-up resilienceCompact and easyUnparalleled worldwide coverageFlyaway terminals, rapid set-upInmarsat has built a reputation on providingreliable, global satellite communications.There is no jigsaw puzzle of individual satellitefootprints. We have a global network ofsatellites and a global backbone of terrestrialinfrastructure, supported by a global team ofsatellite specialists.In order for a satcom broadband solution tobe truly reliable and adaptable, the abilityto transfer hardware easily to your area ofoperation is crucial. Our terminals comein a variety of sizes and configurations –from large dishes suitable for long-terminstallations to the portable terminals thatare both airline checkable and hire cartransportable.Network reliability99.5% availabilityplus L-band backupWhat is new with LX?Flexible plansGlobalNot just 6, 12, 24 and 36 monthbut also 1 month and 1 week plansGeo-defined plans availableup to 12 month contract termsNew Klas NSD forMission Critical serviceUnlike other VSAT solutions who advertisemaximum information rates (MIR) that declineas user numbers increase on any given beam,the Inmarsat LX service allows you to choosethe Committed Information Rate (CIR), whichis most applicable to your operations. Need99.5% CIR? The Mission Critical package offersyou peace of mind. If 95% CIR is sufficientfor your needs, you can opt for the Premiumpackage. Different operations dictate differentplans – the choice is yours to decide betweenCIR and cost.Flexible plansOnly pay for what you needRemote operations vary not only in the typeof data transmitted, but also the length ofthe deployment. Why pay for a 3-monthcontract when one will suffice? Likewise, ifyour operation allows for long-term planning,benefit from the cost savings inherent with thelonger one, two or three-year contracts. Youcan control the length of your requirementand you can use your terminal anywhere inthe world. You can also rapidly deploy andredeploy whenever required, with no notice.That’s true flexibility.

HIGH SPEEDS FOR ALL SECTORSLX supports a wide range of industries and environments; as thenetwork is global and highly reliable the potential is almost limitless.MediaNewsgathering is time-critical. Secondscount. News gatherers are increasingly sentto remote locations, often for days at a timeduring a developing story with the expectationof connectivity. However this expectation isvery often far from the reality when, accordingto the International Telecommunication Union(ITU), still over half the world’s population(some 3.9 billion people) offline and unable toconnect regularly, if at all.To meet the demand for instantaneouscoverage, reporters need to have fullconnectivity, on location, without missing abeat. They must make calls, file stories, sendhigh-resolution images and transfer files, doresearch, join video conferences and streamlive video.Inmarsat has a long and distinguished historybridging the gap between media content anddistribution, serving the needs of journalistsand media organisations all over the world.
