Providing Connectivity Where
It Matters Most
MTN Government Services is a Pioneer in the Defense Connectivity Sector
In 2009, MTN formed MTN Government Services (MTNGS), a subsidiary that specializes in integrated communications services for military and government agencies. The MTN government team work with soldiers in Afghanistan, and non-government organizations (NGOs) for disaster relief and recovery efforts in areas such as Haiti, scientific research ships mapping the ocean floor for NOAA, and a host of other government agencies for mission-critical communication needs.
MTN SAT also provided a first in network connectivity, enabling a live network broadcast of Good Morning America from under the sea aboard the USS Scranton.
The Santander Teleport
The Santander teleport serves as a centralized gateway for MTN's VSAT communications with coverage over the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The facility is located in Santander, Spain. There are 20 Tx/Rx antennas at the teleport operating in C-band, Ku-band and X-band that provide uplink/downlink services to commercial and government customers. RF chains are built with redundant systems and dimensioned for future growth. There are also several smaller antennas providing support services such as monitoring, commissioning, test and measurement activities.
