Describing it as a “communications network of the future”, Orchestra will bring together Inmarsat’s existing geosynchronous (GEO) satellites with low earth orbit satellites (LEO) and terrestrial 5G into an integrated system.

As part of its development, the company is planning to add 150 to 170 satellites to its existing fleet, investing $100 million over the coming five years.

“An orchestra brings different instruments together, each supporting the other and playing its role in the masterpiece. We’re building Orchestra on the same concept,” said CEO Rajeev Suri (right).

“By combining the distinct qualities of GEO, LEO and 5G into a single network, we will deliver a service that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Our customers will benefit from dramatically expanded high throughput services around the world. This is the future of connectivity and Inmarsat is perfectly positioned to bring it to the world with its proven technology expertise, right base of customers and partners, and financial strength.”

The UK satellite operator describes it as a “global, multi-dimensional, dynamic mesh network” that will “redefine connectivity at scale with the highest capacity for mobility worldwide and at hot spots”.
