Inmarsat, a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, founded in 1979 and employing approximately 1790 individuals, reported $1.6B in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company is a subsidiary of Viasat. Its main product is enterprise connectivity services. The company operates as a global mobile satellite communications provider, connecting people, organizations, and places across the globe through its networks.
On March 18, 2026, telecom company Ligado asked a Delaware bankruptcy judge to delay a $100 million payment owed to satellite operator Inmarsat. Ligado argued that Inmarsat's alleged breach of a key settlement agreement diminished the deal's value and caused potentially significant harm. Previously, on March 12, 2026, EXMAR deployed Inmarsat's NexusWave fully managed connectivity service across its fleet of gas carriers. This deployment aims to upgrade satellite communications, anticipating a 20% reduction in fleetwide operating costs by consolidating under a single provider. The initiative also seeks to enhance seafarer welfare and improve access to business-critical applications, utilizing NexusWave's capability to intelligently bond multiple network underlays for consistent connectivity.
Inmarsat's customers primarily consist of airlines and Aviation and maritime Transportation companies. Examples of Inmarsat's customers include Toei Reefer Line, Ethiopian Airlines and Sallaum Lines. Examples of Inmarsat's suppliers include Barco, Eutelsat and Skyline Communications.
