Contrivian is now an authorized reseller of Amazon Leo to provide connectivity to state and local agencies in the U.S., the company said on Wednesday. The agreement expands its multi-modal connectivity solutions, Contrivian said.

Contrivian specializes in orchestrating connectivity for commercial and government organizations, combining fiber, broadband, 5G, and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites into a single software-defined package.

CEO Grant Kirkwood said the agreement enhances the company’s ability to provide reliable mission-critical coverage. Amazon Leo connectivity will be integrated into the company’s managed network solution, which dynamically routes traffic.

“We’re providing software-enabled connectivity that is intelligently integrated, continuously monitored, and managed as part of a unified operational model,” Contrivian CEO Grant Kirkwood said. “Our agreement with Amazon Leo strengthens that architecture. It reflects how resilient networks must now be designed. It adds true diversity at the satellite layer and gives our customers greater control, greater performance stability, and greater assurance when failure is not an option.”

Contrivian’s customers include  public sector agencies, healthcare providers, energy operators, financial institutions. The company recently announced a merger with network software company Big Network, integrating its multi-WAN and edge connectivity technology into its Lighthouse platform.
