Scope
Commercial Satellite Communications Solutions (SIN 517410) connects agencies with leased satellite bandwidth, subscription and managed services, service-enabling terminals and equipment, and the engineering and operations needed to deliver them through one Best-in-Class special item number.
Whether you need a single capability or a complete managed service, COMSATCOM gives you access to qualified contractors supporting fixed and mobile missions worldwide across commercially available frequency bands:
- Transponded capacity. Get dedicated satellite bandwidth. Includes link budgets, transmission plans, basic training, management and control, and required approvals.
- Subscription services. Get a complete managed satellite service. Includes worldwide internet, voice, data, and video for fixed or mobile requirements.
Supporting capabilities may include terminals, phones, modems, teleports, terrestrial interfaces, network monitoring, engineering, integration, operations, interoperability, optimization, and interference identification and geolocation.
