Frederik van Essen, Inmarsat Aviation’s Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, said testing results were highly impressive.ÊÒThe results of infrastructure testing at the Satellite Access Station in Nemea, conducted with our partners Cobham SATCOM and OTE using a satellite simulator, have exceeded expectations and reinforced our confidence prior to the scheduled launch of our S-band satellite in the middle of 2017,” said Mr van Essen.
The SAS is located in the Greek town of Nemea and engineers undertook rigorous performance and stability tests to verify its capabilities to serve as a reliable and robust gateway between Inmarsat’s S-band satellite and the internet.
Mr van Essen also stated theÊEuropean Aviation Network is on track for a service introduction later in 2017.
