Germany’s ND SatCom, a supplier of satellite based broadband VSAT, broadcast and military communication network solutions, has set up a U.S. subsidiary called ND SatCom Inc.

In response to the increasing global demand for satellite communication solutions in the Americas, the subsidiary will be ready for operation by the end of May to cover ND SatCom’s activities in the region. A facility in Dallas, Texas, will house sales, operations, engineering and customer support staff.

ND SatCom has appointed Christopher Morris as president and CEO of the new subsidiary. He joins the company from WorldCom’s IDB Systems division, where he served as general manager.
