The collaboration will allow EACOWT to offer a GNSS-resilient Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Ku-Band/L-band solution, enhancing its range of government services. This development ensures robust connectivity and out-of-band management for remote terminals.
By utilizing Eutelsat OneWeb's high-speed Ku-band network of over 600 LEO satellites, alongside Iridium's global L-band Certus companion service, U.S. government users will gain reliable, weather-resilient connectivity. This combination, along with the Iridium STL service, also provides an alternative source for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) in challenging environments, critical for both mission operations and public infrastructure.
"Mission critical operations require continuous connectivity, along with precise and reliable positioning and navigational awareness. Our customers demand uninterrupted communications regardless of their terrain, environment or GPS availability. We are thrilled to add Iridium's capabilities to deliver the most resilient LEO communications solutions, available even in highly contested environments," said Kevin Steen, president and CEO of Eutelsat America Corp. and OneWeb Technologies.
"For years, our customers have been demanding greater diversity and resiliency in support of their operations. The combination of our highly resilient and reliable Iridium Certus and STL services, coupled with EACOWT's robust, high-speed, low-latency solution, is a significant step forward in addressing the needs of the U.S. government market," said Scott Scheimreif, executive vice president, government programs, Iridium. "This partnership provides each of our companies the platform for continued innovation to deliver integrated service offerings into the future."
EACOWT, a major satellite service provider to the U.S. government and its allies, is focused on delivering dependable SATCOM solutions. These services will be accessible through OneWeb Technologies' and Iridium's U.S. Space Force Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (P-LEO) contracts.
