Explore managed Low Earth Orbit satellite broadband for vehicles, facilities, and field operations—and find the information your team needs to purchase through IP Access International’s CALNET Category 505 contract.
IP Access International, LLC has been awarded a State of California CALNET Wireless Mobility Services contract under Category 505 for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Broadband Internet Services.
Contract C5-WMS-25-1042 establishes IP Access International as an approved contractor for these services through the State of California CALNET program.
The award provides eligible California state agencies and participating local government entities with a streamlined procurement path for satellite broadband supporting operations where terrestrial connectivity may be unavailable, insufficient, congested, or disrupted.
From emergency response to remote facilities, LEO satellite broadband can support operations beyond dependable terrestrial coverage.
The challenge: Crews move between service areas with uneven cellular coverage.
Our role: Select and integrate satellite connectivity for public-safety vehicles, mobile command, transportation, and field operations.
The application: Support CAD/AVL, mapping, laptops, coordination, and other IP applications wherever the selected service and deployment permit.
The challenge: An incident location lacks infrastructure, or existing networks are disrupted or congested.
Our role: Configure portable and rapidly deployable connectivity for incident command, temporary facilities, and disaster response.
The application: Give response teams an additional broadband path for information sharing and coordination.
The challenge: A remote facility has limited service, or a critical site needs another communications path.
Our role: Design fixed-site satellite connectivity around location, network, and continuity requirements.
The application: Support government offices, utility operations, transportation sites, and remote field facilities.
Reliable connectivity takes more than an antenna and a service plan. IP Access supports the full lifecycle—from planning and network design to deployment, service management, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing technical support.
We assess coverage, applications, mobility, data needs, site conditions, and existing equipment to help identify a practical satellite solution.
We configure, install, integrate, and test connectivity systems for vehicles, facilities, and field operations based on the agreed project scope.
We help connect satellite broadband with cellular, private wireless, radio, and existing communications infrastructure where appropriate for your requirements.
Our U.S.-based technical support and Network Operations Center provide 24/7/365 assistance and service management after deployment.
Start with what needs to stay connected. We help evaluate satellite services, antennas, networking, installation, and ongoing support for the intended environment.
Antenna options selected around your coverage, mobility, mounting, and deployment requirements.
Integration of LEO satellite and available cellular networks into a managed connectivity solution.
These categories illustrate connectivity capabilities to discuss with our team. Confirm Category 505 coverage, available equipment, and the applicable purchasing path for each proposed item or service.
