Business Wire
Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I), the world’s leading provider of
satellite services and integrated communications, announced today
that L3 Technologies will market FlexAir to United States
government aviation users. FlexAir will deliver high-performing,
resilient broadband service for intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance (ISR) missions as well as in-flight communications
for government officials, troops, and cargo aircraft.
By incorporating FlexAir into its service offerings, L3 will
have immediate access to Intelsat’s global, flexible and proven
Ku-band satellite fleet, including the Intelsat EpicNG
high-throughput satellites (HTS). FlexAir is unique; it is the
first commercially available aeronautical service for
45cm-performance equivalent Ku-band antennas to be provided to the
government as a managed service with a predictable and affordable
cost structure. FlexAir will enable government users to select
several service offerings and allow them to choose the right plan
based on their data rate and geographic needs without having to
make an upfront commitment.
“It is great to have an industry leader such as L3 partner with
us to offer FlexAir services,” said Skot Butler, Intelsat General’s
President. “The scalability of FlexAir’s seamless, global Ku-band
network will ensure that L3’s U.S. aviation customers can
immediately and easily access fast, high-quality broadband
connectivity whenever and wherever they need it. The flexibility
and high data rate transmissions delivered by the FlexAir service
will ensure that users have the maximum mobility they need to meet
their mission-critical requirements.”
Charlie Daniels, President of L3 GCS, said, “Given evolving
market demands, FlexAir will provide our government customers with
the global access, guaranteed availability and agility needed for
missions that have routes and requirements that can change in an
instant. Intelsat General’s multi-layered, seamless service will
ensure that we can deliver a high-performing, resilient and
reliable broadband service that is cost-effective and, most
importantly, tailored to our users’ needs.”
