“Last year we won the first MEO-enabled satellite connectivity contract for the DoD, and we’ve been supporting our U.S. Government mission partner every step of the way since,” said Pete Hoene, President and CEO at SES Government Solutions. “The customer has been very pleased with the service our extended SES Networks team has provided, hence the desire to proceed with an additional beam.”
The solution includes an additional 432 MHz satellite beam operating at less than 200 milliseconds roundtrip, a full duplex link, gateway access, transportable 2.4m AvL terminals, terrestrial backhaul, installation services and 24/7/365 operations and maintenance activities.
