Inmarsat unveiled plans for ORCHESTRA, the communications network of the future.

In the largest ever transformation of its current services, Inmarsat ORCHESTRA will bring together existing geosynchronous satellites with low earth orbit satellites and terrestrial 5G into an integrated, high-performance solution.

"An orchestra brings different instruments together, each supporting the other and playing its role in the masterpiece. We're building ORCHESTRA on the same concept," said Rajeev Suri, CEO of Inmarsat.

"By combining the distinct qualities of GEO, LEO and 5G into a single network, we will deliver a service that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Our customers will benefit from dramatically expanded high throughput services around the world. This is the future of connectivity and Inmarsat is perfectly positioned to bring it to the world with its proven technology expertise, right base of customers and partners, and financial strength."

ORCHESTRA is unique because it draws together the benefits of multiple technologies to create one cohesive solution.

"We have a record of adopting the right technology at the right time. We plan to focus initially on delivering the ORCHESTRA terrestrial network, while preparing for a future LEO constellation in the range of 150-175 satellites. This is a highly cost-effective approach that leverages Inmarsat's leading GEO satellite networks as part of ORCHESTRA's unique multi-layer architecture."
