It provides global end-to-end solutions of any combination of fixed satellite service, mobile satellite service and/or service-enabling components such as terminals, teleport, and terrestrial interface tail circuits. It can also be used to procure the engineering services needed to integrate, operate, and maintain solutions. Examples of networks that UltiSat can provide under this vehicle include:

• Emergency response and disaster recovery communications systems
