About 7E CommunicationsYears of experience in sat comms7E Communications (or simply "7E") was founded in 1982. Since incorporation the company has concentrated on the provision of communication systems. Since 1988, 7E has specialised in the sales and rental of satellite communications equipment and the provision of airtime. The Managing Director of 7E (Peter Beardow) has been involved with satellite communications since 1982 and many senior staff have held managerial posts within the news media.
7E are experts in bespoke integrated communication solutions and can provide a complete end-to-end working solution tailored to meet your exact needs. This can range from a single satphone through to a multi-channel integrated voice, data and video conferencing application. Satellite communications equipment7E are distributors for satellite phones that operate on the Inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya systems, offering both rental and sales of a wide range of products.
7E has been a System Definition Partner on all major Inmarsat systems including BGAN. Because 7E is not tied to a single hardware manufacturer, we can provide the customer with the "best-fit" of hardware for their needs. Not just Inmarsat7E supply Inmarsat GAN (M4), RBGAN, Mini-m, M, B, C and F77 systems from Nera, Thrane & Thrane and EMS, as well as Thuraya and Iridium satphones, car-kits and data adapters. Our customer after-sales service is second to none, and we have a well-earned and widely acknowledged reputation for providing extensive support 24/7 when the bullets are literally flying! 7E even supports customers with legacy Inmarsat B terminals bought five or more years ago. 7E ProductsWe know a lot about the satphone business - having been involved for nearly two decades - and we manufacture our own specialised products that are used by service providers such as Inmarsat.
CustomersOur customer base is wide and blue-chip in nature, encompassing not only broadcasters and newspapers, but government departments, charities, and disaster relief agencies, as well as explorers reaching into the remotest parts of the world where keeping in touch is vital to the success of their mission. 7E is a fully accredited UK Government supplier as well as being an authorised supplier to the United Nations and many overseas governments. Challenge usWe excel at the unexpected - customers have required at short-notice various extras such as generators, solar panels, and that one essential cable that got lost on the way!

CNN, which enable journalists to report live from almost anywhere in the world
with the minimum of technical knowledge.
