Beam receives Japanese approval for entire Inmarsat product range

Beam Communications Pty Ltd, with its global head office in Mulgrave, Victoria, has announced that its entire range of Inmarsat products have been approved for sale into the Japanese market.

Under the Japanese regulatory environment, all equipment sold in Japan that emits radio frequency energy must be tested and granted Japanese Type Approval, commonly referred to as a Giteki or Ninsho certification. In addition, before sale, equipment must be certified for electrical safety and carry a PSE mark.

Beam has successfully completed the testing of all of its Inmarsat IsatDock Docking Stations for the IsatPhone Pro Satellite Handset and GSPS services, along with the four Terra 400/800 and Oceana 400/800 terminals to support the Inmarsat FleetPhone and LinkPhone services.

There is an ever-increasing need for emergency communications in Japan and the approval of these Beam products will extend the use and coverage of the Inmarsat services across fixed site, mobile and maritime applications.  These approved terminals will be sold through strategic Inmarsat partners such as JSAT Mobile Communications Inc, Japan Digital Corporation and SatCom global.
