The company said it has taken its installed base to 32,000, after adding over 2,000 broadband terminals in the quarter.
Its earnings, excluding its venture with LightSquared to create a new US mobile network using Inmarsat’s spectrum, was posted at $161 million, with revenue on the same basis at $322 million from a year ago.
Reuters says Inmarsat was expecting to report group revenues of $320.2 million and core earnings of $163.4 million.
According to the company, its Q3 results mean it is positioned well to meet revenue targets for this year and next.
