Expanding Access to Resilient LEO Satellite Connectivity

Government agencies increasingly depend on reliable broadband connectivity to support public safety, emergency management, transportation, utilities, field operations, mobile command, temporary facilities, and other mission-critical applications.

LEO satellite networks can provide high-speed broadband connectivity in remote areas and can serve as an additional communications path when traditional infrastructure is damaged, overloaded, or outside the reach of an agency’s operations.

“This award reflects our continued commitment to helping government organizations maintain reliable communications wherever their operations take them.”

Bryan Hill Chief Executive Officer, IP Access International

“For more than 27 years, IP Access International has worked with organizations operating in challenging and rapidly changing environments,” Hill continued. “We are proud to provide California agencies with a more direct path to the latest generation of LEO satellite connectivity services, backed by deployment expertise and around-the-clock support.”
