Sally-Anne Ray, Group CEO of NSSLGlobal comments: “SatLink has been a key strategic partner of ours for over a decade, and its products already form part of the core technology underpinning our fully owned and controlled VSAT network. We therefore have full confidence in the technology and the team we bring in to the NSSLGlobal family and with our experience, investment and energy behind it we believe we are well-positioned to push the next generation of SatLink mobility products forward”.
“This acquisition is in line with NSSLGlobal’s ambition to become an engineering powerhouse, particularly for our government and maritime customers and their highly-sophisticated communication needs. By taking full ownership and control of the SatLink portfolio and its roadmap we can align future R&D directly to the needs our customers.
