GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UltiSat, a global provider of end-to-end communications for humanitarian-aid, government, and critical infrastructure is honored to be named the recipient of the Space & Satellite Professionals International (SSPI) seventh annual Better Satellite World Award. The award was bestowed for the company’s collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to provide satellite communication services in support of emergency humanitarian relief operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
An SSPI panel, consisting of a broad cross-section of industry thought leaders and distinguished professionals, selected UltiSat to receive this year’s award. SSPI will be honoring UltiSat at a virtual awards celebration, on Thursday, December 9, 2021, and at the awards reception to be held live in London on January 10, 2022.
“UltiSat is humbled to be recognized by SSPI for this award,” said president and CEO, David Myers. “As a communications and networking solutions provider, our team is obviously passionate about implementing satellite-based technologies. However, being part of such a life-impacting humanitarian mission provides real-world context. It amplifies the importance of the timeliness and reliability of the solutions we provide for our clients. UltiSat is honored to receive this award and share it with our partners at UNHCR.”
UNHCR and its partners provide protection and humanitarian assistance to refugees who are in urgent need of shelter, food, and access to medical services. UltiSat has a long history of providing tailored satellite and wireless communications solutions that are critical to the remote operations of humanitarian-aid missions.
