[Satellite TODAY 06-24-11] Inmarsat is set to launch IsatPhone Link — a new global fixed satellite phone service based on its IsatPhone Pro handheld satellite phone, the mobile satellite operator announced June 23.

   The IsatPhone Link service will go live June 30 with voice capabilities, email, low-speed data and support for both single and multi-user capability in a fixed installation for global customers.
Inmarsat said it is targeting the new service at sectors that typically operate in remote areas not served by terrestrial networks — oil and gas, mining, construction, utilities and NGO aid organizations. 
   “IsatPhone Link brings all the benefits of IsatPhone Pro into a fixed environment, and this opens up new opportunities for remote users and field workers. Many of these businesses will not have had access to a service like this before. With a global capability, we expect to see this deployed in a wide variety of industry sectors and environments,” Inmarsat Director of Land Services Drew Brandy said in a statement.
