Quest Telecom is an Inmarsat Partnership company providing consultation on Inmarsat satellite equipment and services to prospective owners and operators of satellite telephones which operate globally in the Inmarsat network. These telephones operate from any point on the globe in to the international switched telephone and data networks. In this capacity Quest Telecom provides satellite telephone (satcom) equipment specifications and prices, global satellite service pricing, service contract preparation, satcom commissioning and registration and country licensing requirements and contact information. Quest Telecom is also providing industry consultation to satellite telephone manufacturers and service providers in this international market.

Quest Telecom's domestic business interest is to bring regional satellite telephone communication services (voice, fax, PC data, tracking and environmental earth sensing) to isolated and off-shore areas not now served by the public telephone and cellular networks. Possible users of such systems are trucking, construction, logging and air and emergency service operations. State Agencies (police, warden, forestry and marine and disaster recovery service), pipe line construction, utility and commercial marine and fishing operations are other potential users. Telephone service for yachts and commercial sportsmen's camps and lodges beyond telephone poles and cellular range also benefit from this technology.

Quest Telecom is working with a domestic satcom satellite distributor (equipment and service provider) to develop a customer base for these markets in the North East and Canadian Maritimes.
