Arrowhead and Spacenet Ink Deal to Sell Connexstar Services to U.S. Government

Arrowhead Global Solutions Inc., a provider of integrated global communications solutions to the government, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Spacenet Inc. to become a Value Added Reseller (VAR) of the Connexstar turnkey VSAT solution.

The agreement will enable Arrowhead to offer Spacenets Cisco-integrated Connexstar satellite services, including carrier-class voice, secure data transmission and two-way video communications all in a pre-packaged off-the-shelf solution. Spacenet in turn will serve as a sub-contractor on various Arrowhead government contract vehicles.

Arrowhead Global Solutions has several government contracts which enable it to sell a broad range of satellite services to federal agencies. Under the terms of the agreement Arrowhead will modify its government contracts to add the Connexstar end-to-end VSAT solution and related services. Arrowhead will also utilize its 24X7 Network Operations Center to support the provisioning of the Spacenet services to its government customers.

Spacenets solutions meet the varying operational requirements of government agencies and support truly converged communications of voice, video and data through its pre-packaged Connexstar services.

Arrowheads President Tom Eaton said, The Connexstar service is an ideal solution for low-cost continuity of operations (COOP) solutions for government users. Eaton went on to say, The addition of Spacenets Connexstar services to our product line will enable Arrowhead to offer our government customers a unique turn-key networking solution as well as outstanding service and support.

Spacenet CEO Andreas Georghiou said, This new relationship with Arrowhead demonstrates our commitment to providing industry leading and reliable satellite communications solutions for government clients.
