06-12-2011
Our land mobile service was named 'Most innovative non-voice service' in the 2011 CommsMEA awards.
The annual awards recognise the products and companies that have made an outstanding contribution to the telecoms sector in the Middle East and Africa.
Second year
The judging panel is made up of respected industry experts.
The awards were presented at a gala event in Dubai in front of an audience of more than 250 of the region's telecoms business leaders.
"We are honoured to receive this outstanding award and recognition for the second consecutive year," said Helene Bazzi, head of region development for Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and Russia at Inmarsat.
Quick set up
"BGAN has dominated in the mobile satellite services category as it not only provides reliable voice services, but the quality of its broadband data service has been exceeding the user communications requirements for years," she added.
"As it only takes minutes to set up and begin streaming, users have been able to access data applications at broadband speed and make calls at the same time in the remotest of areas.
"I would also like to thank our distribution channel in the region who have worked hard to ensure customer satisfaction in difficult circumstances."
