Piers Cunningham, Director of Maritime Business for Inmarsat has resigned from the global satellite communications company in a shock move that sees him leaving the business after nine years for a move to join SatComms in Australia.

As of the 1st January 2010, all Inmarsat C activations via SatComms Australia will incur a $ 150 activation fee

Due to regulation changes, SatComms Australia will no longer supply Thuraya products and services. We will however continue to support our existing Thuraya customers.
