In addition to their reach into critical regions, IEC Telecom offers a high level of technical expertise with a solid focus on developing solutions for the services portfolio over Inmarsat’s L- and Ka-band networks.

Erwan Emilian, IEC Telecom Group’s CEO, said: “Our intention is to double our reseller channel by mid-2016 thanks to our very specific delivery and our focus on Inmarsat’s services. Our focus is on offering applications for tracking and M2M, video and audio broadcast, WAN optimisation, video surveillance, e-health, security, biometrics and data scans.”
