Inmarsat has appointed Citrix as an Inmarsat Certified Applications Partner (CAP) for its Citrix CloudBridge application.
Citrix CloudBridge will initially support Inmarsat’s broadband global area network (BGAN) service, which is used around the world and across a broad range of markets, including the oil and gas, energy, utilities, media and humanitarian sectors.
Nadeem Khan, Inmarsat’s global head of enterprise applications development said, “Real-time connectivity is an important enabler of productivity and users frequently need to work in environments with high interactivity, rapid response times and unfettered access to multimedia content.”
“However, not all applications and services are designed for use over satellite networks. Our work with Citrix is crucial in the delivery of optimized applications and services to our customers in remote locations around the globe," Khan added.
Inmarsat said the move is part of the satellite operator’s on-going strategy to establish a powerful and trusted relationship with the global applications and solutions community.
