Originally established in 1979 as the International Maritime Satellite Organization to serve maritime distress and safety needs, Inmarsat was privatized in 1999 and subsequently listed on the London Stock Exchange. Headquartered in London, the company maintains regional offices in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific, supported by a network of service partners and resellers. Over the decades, Inmarsat has pioneered satellite voice communications, launched successive generations of spacecraft and continuously enhanced its global coverage and service quality.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Rajeev Suri, appointed in 2021, Inmarsat is advancing its next-generation satellite program to deliver higher throughput, lower latency and expanded coverage for critical applications. The company is focused on growing its maritime broadband business, accelerating aviation connectivity, supporting government digital transformation and capitalizing on emerging IoT opportunities. With a strategic emphasis on both legacy L-band resilience and high-capacity Ka-band services, Inmarsat continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for customers requiring ubiquitous, mission-critical communications.
