Established in 2002, as a subsidiary of ASX-listed World Reach Limited, Beam started out as the developer of a satellite terminal for local Australian telco, Telstra, for use on the Iridium satellite network. The success of the terminal gave us an opportunity to increase distribution into Asia, the United States, Europe and the UK and led to our recognition as a designer and manufacturer of satcom equipment, on a global scale. Today, we continue our dedication to increase our product portfolio in the creation of market leading products and services, to provide mobile satellite solutions to all market sectors.
