History

Beam Communications Pty Ltd is an Australian technology company specializing in satellite communication solutions for global markets. Established in 2002 as a subsidiary of ASX-listed World Reach Limited, Beam started out as the developer of a satellite terminal for local Australian telco Telstra, for use on the Iridium satellite network. The success of the terminal gave Beam an opportunity to increase distribution into Asia, the United States, Europe and the UK, and led to its recognition as a designer and producer of satcom equipment on a global scale. Further success followed with the development of various world-renowned products such as the world's first Iridium docking station for Telstra and Priority Service Units, remote community telephones, highway emergency concepts, data modems and further voice, data and tracking products. In 2009, Beam's strategic product development team secured a major development contract with Inmarsat for four specialised docking stations for their first handheld satellite phone, enabling access to Inmarsat's key markets in China, Japan, Singapore and South America.
