Inmarsat Picks IDG Europe as L-TAC Services distributor for Sweden

[Via Satellite 02-06-2015] Inmarsat has selected IDG Europe to provide L-TAC services to Sweden. L-TAC is a satcom system designed to meet military requirements on the Inmarsat I-4 satellite network. The service uses an antenna adaptor to work with existing tactical radios without needing additional training or certification. L-TAC is interoperable between Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) radios, enabling greater coordination between government agencies and civilian personnel.

“IDG Europe is a perfect regional partner as they have technical expertise across both satellite and radio applications as well as strong local relationships with the Swedish government. We believe that the L-TAC service will fill a crucial gap in operational communications in the Swedish market,” said Peter Dingley, VP of offer development at Inmarsat Global Government.
