recently named the number one organization in an annual industry
ranking of Independent Top Twenty satellite communications

its Teleport Awards for Excellence each year to companies whose
accomplishments have been recognized as outstanding by the
association and its awards committees, comprised of industry
members from around the world.
“Over the past year, Harris CapRock has achieved significant
milestones with its integration of four separate businesses into
one, expanding its service portfolio, enhancing its network and
infrastructure, and increasing global capabilities while continuing
to meet our customers’ needs around the world,” said Tom Eaton,
president, Harris CapRock. “Being recognized as number one among
the Independent Top Twenty list is a testament to Harris CapRock’s
success as a thriving organization following a major
