Russian authorities require all the equipment sold in Russia to be tested and issued official approvals that allow the equipment to be legally imported and to be used in the country.

"The combination of Beam products and the Iridium service offering now available in Russia provides a wide range of solutions for voice, data and tracking needs to be effectively serviced by the strategic partners appointed in Russia that will have access to Beam’s extensive product portfolio." said Michael Capocchi, Managing Director of Beam Communications.

"Beam’s proven portfolio of products, built on the global reach of the Iridium network, is uniquely positioned to address the country's communications challenges and meet strong customer demand throughout Russia."
