Inmarsat GX Assurance metric are in near real time captured from all active sites, vessels and aircrafts - 88 metric showing location, performance, terminal key parameters all made available in our GUI as well as Kibana, Grafana, SAP Crystal Reports...
Inmarsat GX across Enterprise, Government, Maritime, Business Aero, Commercial Aero have all been integrated for Honeywell, Satcom Direct, Sita, Arinc, Boeing, Navarino, Speedcast, GoGo, Satcom1... Offering an enhanced and easy to user setup that allow their end customers to access and manage provisioning, billing as well as Assurance Metric.
Inmarsat GX fully integrated into Unity
Unity have from the beginning been fully integrated as the only platform with Inmarsat GX - across all available Inmarsat I5 API interfaces and have lately been upgraded to the new Inmarsat SDD GX API interface allowing 100% full control across user levels as well as terminals - managing the advanced IP configuration remotely plus have fully been integrated with the sofisticated Inmarsat GX Assurance metric environment that allow Big Data capture from all remote GX terminals in near real time..
Provisioning of Inmarsat GX terminals are normally a very complicated task involving multiple work flow and the actual processing time can be very long forcing activation teams to constantly monitoring or updating the process. Unity have fully automated all these normal manual tasks using internal processing logic - so staff initiate provisioning and Unity take fully over until activation have been completed and a succesful of failed notification is delivered to the team..
Manage all users, all terminals, all terminal associated data directly from Unity as an integrated part of our platform - Unity API also offer full uniform control end to end if the operator want to integrate Inmarsat GX into their existing legasy systems - as an example is Honeywell using our Unity API to integrate all their Inmarsat GX functionality directly into their new Forge Portal.
Unity Inmarsat GX Provisioning
Our real time billing operation allow real time monitoring across spending, usage and credit risk for the operator as well as for all the customers. It facilitates the ability to react fast on a given traffic situation and minimize the risk of having terminals running a lot of traffic causing issues with the customers and the payments.
Facilitate a single billing struucture, traffic view and invoicing across many different satellite services - offer customers to get online access to the processed data and allow customers to monitor and extract own billing related data directly.
Integrated billing and traffic notifications keep the partners and end users up to data with the situation allowing then to interact when needed - as soon as an invoice is approved will it be made available in the online self care for the customer that in the same interface can export details linked to the generated invoice.
Offer larger partners to directly connect their own platforms to Unity API that allow then access in real time to any of the underlaying satellite networks or internal functionalities - or simply allow then to perform self care across permitted services - for special project will it even be possible to create dedicated partner or project frontend interfaces that have the shape and look wanted for the project.

Inmarsat GX Enterprice + Government
We are experts in the field of satellite services, have deep understanding into the different technologies and have direct technical contacts into all terminal manufactors and satellite operators. Our billing system have over the last 20 years developed into a rock solid platform that combine advanced functionality with a highly adaptive and user friendly interfacing, it is divided into three different main blocks to ensure highest possible security, unmatched degree of user friendly interfaces.
Frontend Environment offer easy and simple day to day management for operator and for customers, operator dashboard offer advanced management for operator super users, building rating plans with drag & drop, adding new products through wizards, building new CDR formats using drag & drop, and the final block is our backend system that offer connectivity to the other modules through highly secure API implementations. All parts can be running in redundant mode, all connectivity is stateless allowing the platform to scale unlimitted on top of our cluster database environment that operate in master-master-master replicated mode.
Manage GX Terminal Configuration
Billing cover several workflow, across collecting traffic data, mediating collected data, apply rating, maintain allowance, generate fees linked to activation, subscription, resume, hibernate, upgrade, downgrade, disconnect, extra services, installation, value added fees and similar. Collecting external CDR files can be done using sftp/ftp/email/internal dropzone/API collector, when a file is collected will it be mediated into our internal event based format - new CDR file formats can be implemented using our mediation wizard that make it extremly easy adding new formats, by standard will almost all standard CDR formats be fully supported already, when mediation is performed will our rating part be processing collected data in real time, adding minimum usage, minimum increment, adjust allowance across usage allowance or spending allowance, any form for product are fully suported across postpaid, prepaid, group packages as well as large pool groups
When rating have been applied can invoices be generated at any stage, as long as the billing period is open then will generated invoices be marked with draft across the invoice to indicate it is in draft mode, if operator want to close and generate a single operator or print group then is this fully supported.
Invoices are generated based on invoice templates that control the layout of a given invoice, this mean the operator can have multiple invoice layout and formats as well as invoices in specific languages, generated invoices can be send to print, as email to user, as well as it can be made acailable in the frontend interface, it is also possible to generate invoice reports that can contain all charging and traffic details linked to a given invoice. Split invoicing are fully supported - allowing the operator to make one invoice for airtime, one for hardware, one for installation and one for services
