Bethesda, Maryland (July 21, 2009) - Stratos Global Corporation, the leading global provider of advanced mobile and fixed-site remote communications solutions, today unveiled two new pricing programs designed to make it easy for first-time buyers to experience the benefits of the industry's most popular mobile broadband services. The plans enable new customers to deploy Inmarsat BGAN and FleetBroadband services by bundling equipment and airtime with no capital investment, or take advantage of new starter plans with lower usage allowances.

BGAN and FleetBroadband Bundles Simplify Purchase
BGAN Bundles from Stratos and FleetBroadband Bundles from Stratos offer first-time users equipment and airtime for one low monthly payment, with no activation fees and no capital investment. With these bundled offerings, customers are able to keep their BGAN or FleetBroadband terminals at the end of the contract period.

BGAN and FleetBroadband Starter Plans Feature Affordability, Flexibility
BGAN Starter Plans from Stratos and FleetBroadband Starter Plans from Stratos offer new customers one monthly rate with no subscription fees, no activation fees and low usage allowances. By paying for a year of service in advance, Starter Plan customers receive access to their minute and/or bandwidth allowance anytime within that 12-month period.

Included in all of these new plans are The Stratos Advantage value-added services that enable users to keep costs within budget by monitoring airtime and restricting unauthorized usage.

"Progressive companies worldwide have become aware of the highly successful BGAN and FleetBroadband services. For IT managers who have been waiting for the right time to experience the advantages of mobile broadband, these new pricing programs offer an excellent, affordable opportunity," said Stratos President and CEO Jim Parm.

He concluded, "We are confident that once our new customers begin deployment of BGAN and FleetBroadband - and witness the improved performance of their business-critical applications - they will quickly realize the benefit."
