HOUSTON, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eutelsat America Corp. and OneWeb Technologies Inc (EACOWT), operating in combination as a wholly owned independent U.S. proxy company and subsidiary of Eutelsat Group, today announced a partnership agreement with Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:IRDM), a leading provider of global voice and data satellite communications, to provide Iridium Certus® and Iridium® Satellite Time and Location (STL®) services to U.S. government customers.

EACOWT will now offer an enhanced GNSS-resilient Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Ku-Band/L-band solution by adding Iridium Certus and Iridium STL services to its portfolio of government services.

The combination of the LEO satellite network with the Iridium STL service delivers a resilient alternate source of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) information for mission critical operations and for critical government-managed public infrastructure, ensuring the PNT resilience necessary for success in GNSS-challenged environments.

"Mission critical operations require continuous connectivity, along with precise and reliable positioning and navigational awareness. Our customers demand uninterrupted communications regardless of their terrain, environment or GPS availability. We are thrilled to add Iridium's capabilities to deliver the most resilient LEO communications solutions, available even in highly contested environments," said Kevin Steen, president and CEO of Eutelsat America Corp. and OneWeb Technologies.

"This partnership provides each of our companies the platform for continued innovation to deliver integrated service offerings into the future."

EACOWT is a leading provider of satellite services for the U.S. government and its allies. The company is committed to ensuring customers' access to the most reliable SATCOM capabilities available.
