Ovzon Joins Satellite Industry Association

Washington, D.C., February 24, 2021 – The Satellite Industry Association (SIA) today announced that satellite mobile broadband equipment and services company Ovzon is the newest member of the Association.  Founded in 2006, Ovzon has offices in Solna, Sweden and Herndon, VA.  The Company’s network operations and 24/7 customer support are based out of its global network operations center located in Tampa, FL.

In December, Ovzon demonstrated the performance capabilities of its new laptop-sized T-6 mobile broadband satellite data terminal and announced the renewal of a high-speed data contract with the U.S. Department of Defense through U.S. service provider Intelsat General Corporation.  Ovzon’s current leased capacity broadband service, will be significantly expanded after it launches and deploys its first proprietary GEO satellite, Ovzon 3, which is expected to take place later this year.

“SIA is pleased to announce Ovzon as the newest associate member of the Satellite Industry Association,” said Tom Stroup, President of SIA.  “The Company’s satellite launch plans and their mobile and on-the-move connectivity further demonstrates our industry’s ability to bridge the global digital divide and we are pleased to welcome Ovzon’s innovative highly mobile data terminal expertise to SIA.”

”We are quite excited to be the newest member of SIA,” said Dan Gager, Ovzon’s Chief Commercial Officer. “SIA is the premier organization for promoting and advocating the advancement of new satellite technologies and ideas, and we are extremely proud to be accepted into its ranks to help keep promoting and advancing the industry”
