Best in ClassCOMSATCOM SIN has your agency covered with commercial satellite requirements in any commercially available frequency band.

Leased commercially available satellite bandwidth.
Shared or private satellite subscription/managed services.
Satellite terminals, phones, modems, and related equipment and services.
Scope
Our solutions include transponded capacity and subscription services in any frequency band:
Transponded Capacity
Dedicated bandwidth on a commercial satellite, including:
Engineering (development of link budgets, transmission plans)
Basic customer training (acquiring satellite signal, peak and polarization)
Core management and control of the transponded capacity
Worldwide satellite-based Internet, voice, data, and video services
Network management, monitoring, engineering, integration, and operations required to deliver the services
Fixed and/or mobile satellite services and service-enabling components such as terminals, teleports, and terrestrial interfaces
Generally, terminals and equipment are not included under COMSATCOM unless the equipment is included as part of the subscription services price (Host Nation Agreements separately priced when required). If you need equipment to ensure compatibility and connectivity with a contractor’s network, you can purchase new electronic equipment on MAS.
