GovSat, Telespazio France to provide SATCOM services
GovSat and Telespazio France have been selected by the French Joint Directorate for Infrastructure Networks and Information Systems to provide satellite telecommunications services in various military bands for the French Ministry of Defence.
Under the contract, Telespazio France, supported by GovSat, will begin supplying satellite capacity to all French military and state entities by the end of 2018.
Patrick Biewer, CEO of GovSat, said: ‘Together with Telespazio France, we are honoured to be serving the French government, using the unique capabilities of the GovSat-1 satellite which was launched earlier this year, as well as Telespazio’s tailor-made service offerings.
‘These new services provide the required level of flexibility, security and mobility, and are the ideal solution to meet the new challenges armies face.’
