- Engineer Needs Reliable Communications in the Andes -
"The Inmarsat Mini-M phone we rented has made a trip to Peru and back.
We had a microwave communications backbone made up of a number of
individual links that a
customer needed...in the Andes mountains of Peru... Everything runs on
solar power since the sites are located in the mountains... our people would
be totally isolated from any help from the technical staff here at our plant
[except that] the telephone we rented from you performed flawlessly from the
Andes mountain tops and proved to be quite valuable..."
