 Global aeronautical communications provider Satcom Direct Communications, a U.S. company, has entered on the 17th of August into a purchase agreement to acquire Airbus DS SatCom Government, (ASGI), expanding its market presence and offerings to the U.S. government sector.

ASGI is a government satellite communications business unit of Airbus Defense and Space for the U.S. market and will operate as a subsidiary of Satcom Direct Communications (SDC), of Satellite Beach, FL. The purchase agreement includes acquisition of ASGI’s business operations as well as two satellite earth stations located on the East and West Coasts of the United States.  “Combining the two organizations provides distinct synergies, allowing for a greater support infrastructure as well as enhanced capabilities, technology and expertise to our respective U.S. government customers,” said David Greenhill, President of Satcom Direct Communications. “The acquisition will also provide an increased ability to competitively offer fixed and mobile satellite services in Ku, Ka, L, C, and X bands in multiple markets, especially aviation.”

The deal has been submitted to the U.S. authority and is expected to close within the next few months.
