Airbus Defense and Space expanded an existing agreement with Inmarsat to cover the enterprise and defense markets. The companies are adding new markets and services to a strategic Global Xpress distribution partnership agreement, Airbus Defense and Space said in a news release Wednesday. The agreement also “extends the delivery of the future Ka-band service to Airbus Defense and Space’s worldwide distribution channels and customer base,” it said. Airbus plans to offer Global Xpress to its larger partner and customer base across a range of markets, it said. The new government sector agreement “sets out leasing capacity on military Ka-band spot beams,” it said.
