Introducing Inmarsat Mobile IP, the world's first global wireless packet data service. Mobile IP offers fast, continuous low-cost access to corporate networks in remote areas where there is no public telephone system or cellular coverage. This service is provided from a terminal approximately the size of a laptop computer.

Mobile IP was developed utilizing global internet standard Internet Protocol (IP) which is the underlying foundation of the internet. Mobile IP can be used for a wide range of applications from internet access and e-mail to e commerce.

The Mobile IP service was introduced as a companion to the Global Area Network ISDN service.  The Global Area Network ISDN service offers reliable high-speed communications for data intensive applications that take up to all the bandwidth on a 64K. The ideal solutions for video and large data files.
