Inmarsat is surprisingly more competitive to Swarm than we expected, but man it is difficult to get passed all the bullshit resellers, which is where Swarm is way easier. But for our use cases Inmarsat has been a better fit right now, though we use both on our board depending on the deployment: if we don’t need as much bandwidth and are okay with the black out times where we’re not covered by Swarm, it’s great


Interesting, I didn’t know Inmarsat offers IoT connectivity, or are you using regular BGAN (SMS or data)?


They do have Elera:

But we’re using IDP as it’s not really out yet. Next year hopefully!
