ORBCOMM Maghreb is the Business Unit specialized in the field of satellite telecommunications for short messages and data transfers

ORBCOMM Maghreb is the Telecom Network Operator for the ORBCOMM system in Morocco, thanks to a Telecom license granted by the Moroccan Government (ANRT).

Launched in the US in April 1995, the ORBCOMM system is a GMPCS satellite system dedicated to short data messaging and transmission. It was designed specifically to provide geolocation, data transmission and two-way messaging services.

The ORBCOMM system is composed of three main elements: the space segment, the ground segment and the subscriber segment.

The space segment currently consists of a constellation of up to 48 operating low-earth orbit satellites, to provide tracking, telemetry, control and monitoring services.

The ground segment consists of gateway earth stations (GES) and network control centers located in various areas of the world. The GES communicate with the satellites through link antennas. ORBCOMM Maghreb has one of the only two GES based in the African continent.

The subscriber segment consists of ORBCOMM subscriber communication terminals. They operate in frequency bands reserved for this purpose by the national administrations or other competent authorities.
