One major satellite communication company that has always been on the forefront of the satellite industry is BEAM communications. BEAM has more than 20 years of experience in the satellite industry, providing a full range of sea, land and air satellite terminals and technologies.

Recently BEAM has made a major breakthrough into the Chinese maritime market, working with a customer that has deployed 200 BEAM Oceana terminals. The maritime customer is using the Oceana units because they are specifically designed to support voice, data and tracking communications that are vital to the fisheries industry. The Oceana terminals utilize the Inmarsat satellite network via its 'Fleetphone' maritime service, adding to the reliability of the satellite communications.

When it comes to advancements in using satellite communications within buildings BEAM has a solution as well. Major natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes have increased the demand for communications in-doors.
