[Via Satellite 05-15-2015] Inmarsat has appointed MVS USA, one of the company’s founding distribution partners, as a Value Added Reseller (VAR) for Global Xpress in the maritime market. The company will sell the FleetBroadband Xtra and Fleet Xpress products, which leverage the high throughput Ka-band constellation.

MVS’ representative office in Cyprus has Inmarsat’s GX service on-boarded, and intends to launch a similar demo site at its New York area showroom later this year. The companies are planning the first beta-testing project with a ship-owner operating in the Mediterranean Sea.
