CHANTILLY, Va., May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UltiSat, a global provider of unified communications solutions to government, humanitarian-aid and critical infrastructure markets, announced that in 2023 through the first quarter of 2024 the company accepted orders for over 575 Starlink kits and subscriptions. Customers spanned a range of U.S. federal government and international humanitarian organizations. The Starlink kits and subscriptions included both fixed and mobile systems. Starlink provides high-speed satellite internet access for a range of missions including Humanitarian Aid Disaster Response (HADR) support for refugee relief camps and government personnel located in remote locations.

Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to users all over the world. As the world’s largest satellite constellation using a low Earth orbit, Starlink delivers broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, video calls and more. Starlink is engineered and operated by SpaceX.

“Providing mission critical communications to government and international-aid organizations requires a particular expertise,” said UltiSat president and CEO David Myers. “Compared to residential or commercial customers, there are different standards and strict rules regarding security and acquisitions, whether for U.S. federal agencies or international government organizations like the United Nations. To ensure proper customer support and regulatory compliance, a qualified government integrator should be certified by both the buying organization, as well as by the supplier of the services.”
