above the equator. Each satellite covers a certain area (footprint). The
coverage map below shows the footprints of the BGAN system.
(Launch planned

Note
The map depicts Inmarsat's expectations of coverage, but does not
represent a guarantee of service. The availability of service at the
edge of coverage areas fluctuates depending on various conditions.
The launch of the F3 satellite (POR) is planned for 2008.
