This order, specific to U.S. DOD requirements, replaces the previous eight-month contract that was signed in December 2023. The Ovzon 3 satellite was launched in January 2024. After the conclusion of successful in-orbit tests the satellite entered into commercial service on July 5, 2024.
“The U.S. Department of Defense has been a valued long-term customer for Ovzon. They were the first to rely on Ovzon SATCOM-as-Service for their critical missions, the first to order the Ovzon T7 mobile satellite terminal, and now first to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the industry first Ovzon 3 satellite. We are proud to support the U.S. DOD and deliver specialized applications for enhanced performance, mobility, and resiliency. Transitioning from leased satellite networks to Ovzon 3 is in progress, and we are confident it will play a critical role for the U.S. DOD and other key customers in the years to come”, says Per Norén, CEO of Ovzon.
