ORBCOMM Announces Shipment of Six Satellites to the Launch Site

FORT LEE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ORBCOMM Inc. (Nasdaq: ORBC), a global satellite data communications company focused on providing two way Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, today announced that its Coast Guard demonstration and five Quick Launch satellites have been shipped to the launch site in Kapustin Yar, Russia. Before launching, the satellites will undergo additional functional testing to verify proper operations after shipping. The satellites will then be fueled and integrated to the launch vehicle. Waiting at the launch site is a Cosmos 3M rocket, one of the industry's most proven and reliable launch vehicles. The launch is expected to take place before the end of June 2008. Once launched, the satellites will be put into commercial service within one to three months while they undergo in-orbit spacing and functional testing.

The Coast Guard demonstration and Quick Launch satellites will have higher capacity to enhance ORBCOMM’s network performance and will be placed in an optimum orbit to augment current satellites, providing faster message delivery for the company’s new and existing customers. In addition, these satellites are equipped with Automatic Identification System (AIS) payloads which will enable them to receive and report transmissions from AIS-equipped maritime vessels. ORBCOMM has been working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard in this endeavor. ORBCOMM also intends to market AIS data services to other U.S. and international government agencies, as well as to companies whose businesses require such ship tracking and other navigational activities.
