CSIR's onsite personnel will continue to provide ongoing maintenance support to its operation. This new GES is a terrestrial link to ORBCOMM's network of low-earth orbit satellites providing low-cost, near real-time, two-way machine-to-machine (M2M) satellite communications. ORBCOMM also announced today that it has signed agreements to purchase the Gateway Earth Stations (GESs) from its third party partners in Malaysia and Argentina.
