Melbourne, FL. / 4 May 2021 – Satcom Direct (SD) has completed the next phase of terrestrial expansion to its global private network. To strengthen its ground infrastructure and augment redundancy the global satellite solutions provider has enhanced individual Points of Presence (PoPs) and upgraded its global network to support the increasing connectivity needs of its customers. The update includes expansion into the Asia Pacific region to provide additional connectivity options for customers and complements existing PoPs in North American and Europe.
The enhanced terrestrial network enables SD to deliver greater flexibility as an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for its business aviation, military and government customers operating around the world. This effort further strengthens its global infrastructure which incorporates the award-winning COMSAT Tier 4 certified east and west coast U.S.-located teleports. As part of the Satcom Direct family of companies, COMSAT collaborates with the Melbourne, Florida-located Tier III rated, ISO 27001 certified SD Data Center to support delivery of a suite of cybersecurity solutions which maintain customer data integrity. Customers can also access cloud services and cloud service providers via the terrestrial network and SD Data Center customers can use the teleports as a bridge for both legacy and new network technologies.
With the sophisticated network upgrades complete, SD is effectively adapting its services, infrastructure, and support to better facilitate individual customer IT compliance standards. This includes creating tailored network solutions that meet the requirements of SDs unique customer base and supports working with global carriers to optimize network routes and increase redundancy.

This latest infrastructure upgrade follows recent physical antenna upgrades at the COMSAT teleports which bolstered capacity across its entire network. “SD delivers a progressive, advanced and interconnected global terrestrial network that supports more satellite constellation providers, and customers, than any other independently owned network.
