COMSAT Expands Coverage With Turkish Agreement As part of an effort to provide global coverage for maritime and land mobile communications ser- vices, the Communications Satel- lite Corporation (COMSAT) has en- tered into an agreement with the Republic of Turkey to expand the Inmarsat coast earth station at Ata, Turkey, for COMSAT coverage in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The agreement was signed in Washing- ton, D.C., by COMSAT chairman and CEO Irving Goldstein and M. Emin Baser, general director and chairman of the Turkish PTT. The new Ata facilities, which will be operated and maintained by the Turkish PTT, are scheduled to be in service by early 1992 and will en- able COMSAT's Mobile Communi- cations division to provide satellite communications services directly to and from Inmarsat A-equipped ships and land mobile terminals. COMSAT currently serves both the Atlantic Ocean Regions and Pa- cific Ocean Region through its U.S. coast earth stations in Southbury, Conn., and Santa Paula, Calif. The new IOR arrangements will enable COMSAT to provide global cover- age in all ocean regions from its own facilities for the first time. "With this agreement, we now will be able to provide our customers one-stop shopping for their commu- nications needs," said Ronald J. Mario, president of COMSAT Mo- bile Communications. "By early 1992, our customers will be able to obtain the same high quality ser- vices in the Indian Ocean Region that they are used to receiving in the Atlantic and Pacific. This is a logi- cal move for us, as the IOR now is the source of the highest voice traf- fic growth in the Inmarsat system," continued Mr. Mario.
