BRINGING THE BENEFITS OF SPACE DOWN TO EARTH
| Magellan Systems Corporation is a company on a mission: to take advanced
technologies that put man-made stars in space and make them affordable for
use on Earth. Led from the beginning by Thousand Oaks resident and company
president Randy Hoffman, in just ten years Magellan Systems Corporation
has become a global leader in the field and brought the world closer through
the creation of innovative satellite navigation and communication products.
Today more than one million people track, map, locate, position and navigate
using Magellan Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. In aviation, boating,
outdoor recreation, environmental protection, public safety, agriculture,
national defense and transportation, Magellan's GPS navigation and positioning
products are changing the way we learn, work and play. A subsidiary of space
products and services company Orbital Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: ORBI), Magellan
is also breaking new ground in satellite communications with the Magellan
World Phone global voice, fax and data satphone and the world's first hand-held
satellite communications device, the soon-to-be-released Magellan GSC 100
global satellite communicator for worldwide, two-way, e-mail messaging.
Like the famous explorer for whom the company is named, Magellan is venturing
into new technological worlds that will help people answer the question
"Where in the world am I?" and communicate across the boundaries
of time and space. |
