Secure Communications Services

Astrium Services is able to provide secure military-standard satellite communications services to governments, armed forces, International Treaty Organisations and businesses around the world.

Our primary contract is to provide the UK Ministry of Defence’s secure Skynet 5 satellite communications service to the UK Armed Forces. The terms of the contract, and the additional in-built capacity of Skynet 5, mean we can also provide secure communication services to non-UK armed forces, governments, organisations and businesses.

We can provide:

• Individual satellite links
• Transponder capacity – anchoring of links and associated ISDN connections
• Lease or sale of terminals

End to End to end managed services

Our experience with military and commercial satellites, and terrestrial communications technology enables us to engineer the right mix of airtime, terminals, networking, training, support and logistics.

We are happy to meet both your short-term or small satcom needs in addition to your larger and longer-term requirements.
