ANSUR JOINS INMARSAT’S APPLICATION AND SOLUTION PROVIDER PROGRAMME
AnsuR today announced it has joined the Inmarsat Application and Solution Provider (ASP) Programme, an ecosystem for providers of software, hardware and solutions, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in commercial land markets. As an ASP member, AnsuR will gain access to Inmarsat’s global L-band satellite connectivity network, ELERA, and worldwide reach to scale its solutions into new sectors and geographies.
An award-winning software company whose innovative solutions have solved the operational challenges of sending high-precision visual information via bandwidth-constrained connectivity, AnsuR’s tools support mission-critical or time-sensitive decision making. These include drone delivery, critical infrastructure inspection and inspection at height for a variety of government, enterprise and commercial operations.
Commenting on AnsuR’s membership in the ASP, Mike Carter, President, Enterprise at Inmarsat, said: «Inmarsat is pleased to welcome AnsuR to our ASP programme and to be working with them to support their ambitious growth plans. Innovative solution providers like AnsuR are using leading-edge technology to help industries respond to some of the biggest global challenges. Inmarsat stands ready to support their journey through the provision of reliable connectivity through our industry-leading ELERA narrowband network, as well as go-to-market alignment and support.»
Paul Gudonis, Chief Strategy Officer, AnsuR comments: «At AnsuR, we are all about enabling the efficient transfer of data to save our customers money. Alongside Inmarsat’s BGAN M2M service, we provide data communication tools for real-world situations where visual data is needed, ensuring full-precision photo and video content is communicated using considerably less bandwidth than traditional methods. By facilitating remote inspections in hazardous environments, we can not only help keep people safe, but also deliver substantial sustainability value too.
»We’re delighted to formalise our longstanding relationship with Inmarsat by joining the ASP programme. We have reached the stage of our growth, where we need reliable, global connectivity, and a trusted partner to help us scale and replicate our business across the utilities, oil and gas, mining and transport industries."
The Inmarsat ASP Programme is open to new entrants, disruptors and established brands of any size who have developed an innovative digital product or service but may need additional support to exploit the benefits of satellite-enabled IoT solutions. Inmarsat provides dedicated technical guidance on how to integrate and support its highly-reliable satellite services, go-to-market strategy planning and exposure to the Inmarsat distribution channel to enable access to new markets.
Providers working across a diverse range of industries, including agriculture, aid and NGO, energy, exploration and leisure, media, mining, transport and utilities, as well as agnostic technology providers will be considered for membership.
Companies operating in locations and regions without reliable connectivity, or which have mission-critical connectivity needs, use the Inmarsat ASP programme to access a broad choice of satellite-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) solutions developed by a range of providers that enhance the efficiency, safety and sustainability of their businesses.
