“In today’s threat environment, secure, resilient, and
ubiquitous connectivity is critical to maintaining an information
advantage across all domains,” said John Ratigan, Interim CEO of
Comtech. “This contract award further demonstrates the trust of SES
Space & Defense in Comtech’s ability to deliver next-generation
digital solutions. O3b mPOWER is among the world’s most innovative
satellite constellations, and we are thrilled to partner with SES
Space & Defense as they pave the way for modernized military
satellite communications (“SATCOM”) operations.”
“We choose customer mission success first. Comtech’s SLM modem
series includes features that are unique and critical to our
customers’ missions,” said David Fields, President and CEO of SES
