ND SatCom today said it delivered a turnkey ground station for satellite communications to the German Armed Forces in Kastellaun, Germany. This station will connect the transportable satellite ground stations and mobile camera teams in the areas of operation with the German Armed Forces’ telecommunications systems. The ground station in Kastellaun will provide secure communications via satellite between the homeland and German Armed Forces in areas of operation abroad.

“The military capability of networked operation leadership in international operations puts a high demand on the communications systems used,” said Harald Reder, managing director of ND SatCom Defense GmbH. “Forces operating abroad can nowadays, due to strong demand for multimedia services, only be led with the support of satellite communications.”
