  Inmarsat's New Navigation Payload - GPS World
Inmarsat's History Inmarsat was chartered as an intergovernmental organization (IGO) in 1979 to exploit the emerging satellite technology for mobile communications to improve maritime communications, specifically to enhance safety of life at sea.
Inmarsat recognized that dual user downlink frequencies are an important advance over the current Inmarsat-3 augmentation capabilities and hence it considered the availability of a second frequency (L5) as a requirement for its Inmarsat-4 navigation payload.
Inmarsat plans to design and develop prototype equipment for proper navigation signal generation and control that will be used for the ground and in-orbit test campaign in order to conduct end-to-end system tests.

  Inmarsat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the present most of the Inmarsat satellites handling the normal traffic are of the I-3 (3d) generation but transition to the I-4 generation is on the way (starting with IOR).
This is the only analog network of Inmarsat and is scheduled for phase-out by 31 December 2007.
The Inmarsat-A service on IOR has been moved to a backup satellite at 109 degrees East longitude due to the use of the new Inmarsat-4 satellite for the primary IOR coverage.

LONDON -- Telecom giant Inmarsat is weeks away from launching the second in a series of two super-satellites -- designed to be among the most powerful commercial communications spacecraft in orbit -- that will beam broadband data and voice services to almost any location on the planet.
After an earlier false start, satellite giant Hughes Network Systems is preparing to launch a broadband service in North America called Spaceway by 2006, promising downstream speeds of up to 30 Mbps in certain locations.
In this resurgent field, Inmarsat's $1.5 billion project could be one of the first to deliver broadband data and voice simultaneously -- with truly toteable hardware -- using what the company claims are the most powerful and sophisticated commercial communications satellites ever launched.
