[Via Satellite 07-15-2016] Lepton Global Solutions has signed on with Boeing to become an authorized service provider of Inmarsat’s Global Xpress services. Boeing, manufacturer of the four Global Xpress satellites (three of which are in orbit providing global coverage), is also a Value Added Reseller (VAR) for the network’s services.

Through its partnership with Boeing, Lepton will now add Global Xpress wideband services to its customer offering, and extend Lepton’s service networks to four bands. The high throughput Global Xpress Ka-band service will complement Lepton’s existing Ku-, C-, and X-band services out of teleports in Hawaii, Atlanta, Italy, and the Netherlands with seamless worldwide coverage for Comms-on-the-Move (COTM) or fixed operations with smaller terminals and higher throughputs.
