Inmarsat has launched a new IoT service plan to drive growth and generate long term business for its distribution partners. This new service plan will be available to distribution partners who have signed up to its ELEVATE programme, with Ground Control named as the first business to benefit from the offering.

Inmarsat’s new ‘Internet of Things Growth Plan’ will give distribution partners access to a preferential pricing framework to help build competitive large scale IoT solutions using the BGAN M2M service. The pricing plan is just the latest benefit to be enjoyed by members of the ELEVATE programme, the goal of which is to attract highly innovative, fast-moving IoT solution providers into the BGAN M2M fold.

The new pricing framework will be available to all distribution partners when they sign up to the ELEVATE programme going forward, delivering significant cost benefits for themselves and their end users, in addition to gaining access to broader capabilities and solutions via the partner ecosystem.

We believe our partner ecosystem is key to helping solve some of the world’s biggest challenges through the power of satellite IoT,” said Mike Carter, president at Inmarsat enterprise. “We’re excited to be kicking this next phase of our ELEVATE journey off with our long-term partner Ground Control and look forward to welcoming more distribution partners to the family going forward.”
