About
Leading provider of fully integrated, end-to-end global satellite communications solutions.
Connecting you beyond all expectations
Satcom Direct’s spirit of innovation and deep customer focus underpins everything we do. Since our formation in 1997, we’ve grown to become a leading provider of fully integrated, end-to-end global satellite communications solutions. Customized to meet the unique requirements of our business aviation, government, land mobile, and marine customers.
Like most entrepreneurial companies, we started by trying to solve a single problem: how to call an aircraft in flight on its own unique number, regardless of location. The solution we created – Global One Number – is still in use today on over 7,000 aircraft.
And 25 years later, that culture of problem solving and innovation is still what drives us today: to deliver secure, reliable access to the networks, applications and data that are critical to your business, your mission, or next adventure. Wherever it happens.
World-class solutions
SD partners with the world’s leading satellite network operators and equipment manufacturers to offer an extensive portfolio of aviation, land mobile and marine communications. And we are also a product developer in our own right, with our Plane Simple Antenna Systems, cabin routers, flight deck and flight operations solutions.
We integrate all this with our own world-class infrastructure, which includes our own data center and points of presence, that are interconnected with a fully redundant private terrestrial network to deliver end-to-end, secure, global connectivity at the highest quality of service. And we back this up with award-winning, global support that truly puts our customers front and center.
