--Stratos Dashboard is the foundation of The Stratos Advantage applications that help users provision service, monitor airtime and control costs--

Bethesda, Maryland (July 23, 2009) - Stratos Global Corporation, the leading global provider of advanced mobile and fixed-site remote communications solutions, today introduced a new version of its Stratos Dashboard application that features an improved graphical interface to increase ease-of use.

Stratos Dashboard is the foundation of The Stratos Advantage, a suite of value-added services utilized by thousands of Stratos customers to keep Inmarsat mobile broadband service costs within budget by monitoring airtime and restricting unauthorized usage.

The Stratos Advantage services help elevate BGAN from Stratos, FleetBroadband from Stratos and SwiftBroadband from Stratos far above baseline offerings. These convenient applications provide users with cost control, firewall management, full traffic information, pre-paid facilities, high security options, easy VPN access, messaging services and full IP range. The applications are also used to manage older-generation Inmarsat mobile satellite systems, Inmarsat Satellite Phone Services and Iridium mobile satellite offerings.

Stratos Dashboard enables users to do their own service provisioning, control traffic using High-Volume Usage Metering and Credit Control features. The application provides full access to real-time traffic overviews, billing information and firewall settings.

"The new Stratos Dashboard is more intuitive and easier to navigate, enabling users to access more information quickly," said Ian Canning, Stratos Vice President, Marketing & Product Management. "This new layout improves functionality, thereby making it easier for both new and experienced users to provision service and control costs."
