ND SatCom

ND SatCom is an Immenstaad am Bodensee, Germany-based satellite communications ground systems company with heritage tracing to 1969, now a subsidiary of Teles Communications Group, specializing in the design, manufacturing, and integration of satellite ground infrastructure for defense, government, and commercial customers. The company's SKYWAN product family delivers satellite VSAT networks using TDMA and FDMA access schemes optimized for government and military applications where security, resilience, and anti-jam performance take priority over commercial cost efficiency.

SKYWAN systems provide secure broadband connectivity for military command networks, government emergency communications, diplomatic missions, and NGO field operations in austere environments. ND SatCom's flyaway and fly-away-in-a-box terminals enable rapid deployment of satellite communications for military expeditionary forces, disaster relief operations, and broadcast-quality video feeds from remote locations — packaging full Ka-band or Ku-band satellite uplink capability into ruggedized cases transportable by air in carry-on luggage.

The company also develops Communications on the Move (COTM) systems integrating satellite terminals with vehicle stabilization platforms for land vehicles, ships, and aircraft requiring continuous satellite connectivity while mobile. ND SatCom's proximity to Airbus Defence and Space's Immenstaad facility — where Airbus develops telecommunications satellites — positions it within Germany's aerospace industrial cluster at Lake Constance. Customers include the German Bundeswehr, NATO member nation armed forces, and international government telecommunications authorities.

ND SatCom competes with Datum Systems, iDirect (ST Engineering), ViaSat Government, and Hughes Defense in the military and government VSAT ground system market.
