WCC Adds Inmarsat Including BGAN to Its Satellite Voice and Data Communication Product Portfolio

World Communication Center (WCC), a leading provider of global satellite voice and data communications, today announced the addition of Inmarsat to WCC's existing satellite Internet and Iridium product lines. The availability of Inmarsat satellite telephone, networking and broadband Internet equipment and services enhances WCC's ability to serve enterprise-sized businesses' satellite communication needs. The addition of Inmarsat supports WCC's solutions-based strategy by broadening the number of high-quality choices for its customers.

The new offerings include the Nera WorldPro 1000 -- the world's smallest mobile broadband satellite terminal and the first terminal to supply the highly powerful BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) service. As the world's first mobile communications service to provide simultaneous voice and broadband communications on one channel, Inmarsat's BGAN service can globally transmit data rapidly at speeds of up to half a megabit per second. BGAN service is currently available in Europe and Africa, with a highly anticipated global availability in first quarter of 2006 as Inmarsat launches the remaining BGAN satellites.

"Becoming one of the first VARs in the Southwest to offer Inmarsat and BGAN technology demonstrates WCC's role as an early adopter of leading satellite technology. Inmarsat complements our existing service line and enables us, as a turnkey integrator and provider, to meet any communication needs regardless of company size or requirements," states WCC President Sam Romey. "We go far beyond simple satcom sales. Blending comprehensive value-added services with manufacturing capabilities and our product line provides a completely customized solution."

Early this year, WCC anticipates offering the newest Inmarsat BGAN next generation line of smaller, inexpensive portable satellite products and broadband solutions for customers in the United States.
