"I would like to thank our friends at SES for their amazing support in guiding us through the certification process on our Lite Sat 2.2A.

"SES GS and Lite Coms would like to thank the team at AvL who's dedication and design quality was critical in enabling the terminal to pass certification on its first attempt!"

Using these services, U.S. Government customers can take advantage of the proven capabilities to support the provisioning of enterprise services to deployed warfighters. The O3b certification that Lite Sat 2.2A has received offers a solution that can leverage the MEO constellation by providing fiber-like connectivity to austere deployed locations.

"The Department of Defense has vast and expansive information at their fingertips," said President and CEO of SES Government Solutions, Brigadier General Pete Hoene, USAF (retired). "Utilizing both O3b and Lite Coms technological advancements gives our warfighters the information and support needed for mission success. SES GS is pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Lite Coms and help ensure deployed U.S. military personnel have technologies that allow access to near real-time decision-making intelligence at the tactical edge."
