Intelsat Government Solutions Corporation announced Thursday that it has changed its name to Intelsat General Corporation, following its recent acquisition of the assets, contracts and staff of the former COMSAT General business.

The change is intended to reflect the complementary nature and competencies of the two businesses, as well as their dual heritage of success and worldwide brand recognition in the satellite communications industry.

Intelsat General Corporation and its affiliates completed the acquisition of the COMSAT General business from Lockheed Martin in late October of this year.

Intelsat, Ltd., in its 40th anniversary year, is a global satellite communications pioneer, with a worldwide network of 28 owned and operated satellites, plus teleports and terrestrial interconnections.

In 2003, it created Intelsat Government Solutions Corporation as a Washington, DC-based subsidiary focused on the communications needs of key prime contractors serving US and NATO government users with satellite and managed satellite-based services.

Prior to its acquisition by Intelsat, the COMSAT General business had a 30-year history of serving government and commercial customers requiring quick response, high availability and fully integrated communications solutions.

Its expertise includes the design, engineering, installation, implementation and licensing of end-to-end, fixed and mobile satellite telecommunications networks.

COMSAT General communications solutions leverage bandwidth from multiple commercial satellite system operators and networks have been provisioned in over 100 countries on six continents.

"Uniting two great businesses under one banner, Intelsat General Corporation looks to continue an important legacy of success by enhancing its portfolio of world-class, cost-effective, secure communications solutions, backed by exceptional service," said Susan Miller, President, Intelsat General Corporation.

"The addition of COMSAT General's staff and contracts strengthens and deepens our competencies to serve customers, while positioning Intelsat General Corporation as a leader in the provision of end-to-end, on-demand broadband satellite communications infrastructure and services supporting fixed and 'on-the-move' government and military applications."
