The construction on the GES commenced in early April 2010. 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's expanding network of ground infrastructure makes it possible for VARs, IVARs, and OEMs, to develop a product using a single global standard and enjoy world-wide operation with a single airtime agreement and no roaming charges.
