Denver, CO-based BridgeComm, Inc. announced on September 10 it has signed a cooperative agreement with Saturn Satellite Networks Inc. (Saturn), a leader in high performance mini GEO Satellites. Saturn has introduced its “NationSat” satellites to address the needs of developing economies by employing advanced digital processing to increase flexibility, improve performance, and reduce weight thereby providing disruptive economics for customers. Saturn is also developing other disruptive communications solutions for a much broader range of services to their customers. BridgeComm will support Saturn’s new communications architectures enabling secure, high-speed communications.
“As the first company to bring OWC to the commercial market, we are confident
that our technology and overall communication systems support will enable
Saturn to offer a unique solution with the added features of being both
high-speed and secure,” says BridgeComm CEO Barry Matsumori. “As we enter into
a new era of 5G communications, OWC will be integral in bridging the existing
connectivity gap, particularly in challenging environments to augment the
capabilities already realized using RF technology.”
“Saturn Satellite Networks will provide services that are more closely associated
with the terrestrial network nodes in terms of transparency and capabilities,”
says Saturn CEO Jim Simpson. “In addition, the performance of the network will
surpass that of any existing space system, hence several key partnerships have
been established; among them with BridgeComm.”
BridgeComm will work to provide Saturn with optical communications system design and systems engineering. BridgeComm will also support Saturn in key design parameters as well as with ground communications services. Finally, Saturn and BridgeComm will jointly work to support both commercial and US Government customer solutions.
