Orbsat Corp

New Unit to Focus on Providing Satellite-Enabled Technologies for Federal Government including Department of Defense and Homeland Security

AVENTURA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2021 / Orbsat Corp (OTCQB:OSAT) ("Orbsat" or the "Company"), a global provider of communication solutions for connectivity to the world through next-generation satellite technology, today announced the formal launch of its new government services business unit, Orbsat Government, dedicated to serving the mobile satellite communications needs of federal government and military customers and the relocation of its headquarters to Washington, D.C.

Orbsat Government will draw upon Orbsat's nearly two decades of expertise in delivering and supporting satellite-based communications products and services for governments, enterprises, and consumers in over 165 countries. The new business unit is dedicated to providing government and military customers with satellite-based solutions including emergency locator systems, voice and high-speed data connectivity and IoT (internet of things) personnel and asset tracking solutions. The Company also intends to hire additional sales and dedicated customer service teams with experience in government contracting and procurement to support its operations. The Company's current sales office in Aventura, Florida will continue to service and support customers in North America and throughout Latin America.

"The U.S. Government continues to invest billions of dollars in upgrading and modernizing its capabilities through the deployment of advanced satellite-enabled technology throughout its federal and military branches, presenting us with many significant growth opportunities," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of Orbsat. "Through our investments in Orbsat Government and programs like the Government Services Administration (GSA) which we intend to participate, we believe we can support the U.S. Government's growing needs for secure and effective satellite communications technology."

According to reports from the GAO (U.S. Government Accountability Office) published in late 2019, the "Department of Defense (DOD) officials estimate spending an average of $4 billion each year to acquire and sustain wideband satellite communications capabilities, including developing and fielding military satellite systems, contracting for commercial satellite communications services, and acquiring and operating satellite ground terminals."
