I-4 satellite regions as from 24 February 2009.

Satellite repositioning

The map below shows the expected I-4 network coverage once the I-4 F3 satellite is operational and the repositioning programme is complete, currently scheduled for 24 February 2009.

To reflect the geographic locations covered by the satellites, Inmarsat will refer to its three I-4 satellite regions as:

- I-4 Americas
- I-4 EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa)
- I-4 Asia-Pacific

The former names of F1, F2 and F3 will no longer be used.

Once the repositioning process is complete, the respective positions of each I-4 satellite will be 98W (I-4 Americas), 25E (I-4 EMEA) and 143.5E (I-4 Asia-Pacific).
