As a result of its acquisition by SES, Intelsat is set to enhance communication solutions for special operations forces through the integration of multi-orbit capabilities, network integration, and advanced terminal technology. David Broadbent, President of Government Solutions at Intelsat, emphasizes the importance of robust and adaptable connectivity for demanding military operations.
Intelsat’s focus on size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP) ensures that communication solutions prioritize these critical factors. By combining geo and LEO bandwidths, special operations forces can benefit from optimized mission efficiency with easy-to-install, low-power equipment. This approach will allow for enhanced connectivity and operational efficiency in missions.
The acquisition by SES is expected to bring significant benefits to Intelsat’s geo capabilities and introduce MEO solutions. This acquisition will further solidify Intelsat’s position as a leader in strategic communication technologies for special operations forces. The company’s commitment to innovation and integration of cutting-edge technology will continue to drive advancements in communication solutions for military operations.
In summary, the partnership between Intelsat and SES is set to enhance communication solutions for special operations forces through multi-orbit capabilities, network integration, and advanced terminal technology. With a focus on SWaP optimization and an emphasis on robust connectivity, this partnership will enable special operations forces to achieve mission success with ease-of-use equipment that minimizes size, weight, power consumption while maximizing performance.
