Unlike legacy government-operated solutions, the model required Intelsat to take full accountability for the end-to-end solution\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>Intelsat\u2019s solution includes Intelsat Flex services for geostationary (GEO) connections and provides commercial low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite service for an LEO option. Intelsat delivered worldwide coverage via leased satellite terminals and services with 24&#215;7 support. The scope of the Army\u2019s SATaaMS Pilot included end-to-end managed subscription services to support connections with commercial teleports and internet services.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the 12-month trial, Intelsat and the Army:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conducted pilots at 10 global locations.<\/li>\n<li>Ensured that the Intelsat managed service and equipment was in use for nine months.<\/li>\n<li>Conducted the program in a wide range of conditions and terrain, including severe cold weather, high-humidity climates, as well as dry and wet conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe Intelsat system enables the Army to re-deploy turnkey SATCOM solutions, where and when they\u2019re needed. This program demonstrates that we can create the flexibility to quickly respond to different types of missions and operations around the globe. We\u2019re able to help the customer maintain a technological edge without constantly investing in network infrastructure,\u201d Broadbent added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intelsat, the operator of one of the world\u2019s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial networks, provided the U.S Army with new, flexible, and fully managed multi-orbit satellite communications (SATCOM) support, following the completion of the Army\u2019s first-ever multi-vendor SATCOM as a Managed Service (SATaaMS) Pilot contract. \u201cThe government understands the need for new, more efficient approaches [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[26,38,42,20,48],"class_list":["post-6440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ground","tag-leo","tag-satcom","tag-satellite","tag-satellite-terminals"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6440"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6440\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
