Reliable, Secure Communications for Defense

Satellite Communications (SATCOM) are ideal for military applications, providing real-time, pole to pole coverage over land, air and sea, with complete security and no dependency on commercial communication networks.

From handheld sat phones to portable carry cases, through to in-motion vehicle internet and communication trailers, Ground Control is a single source for government grade communications hardware and world-class satellite networks.

With regional and global services, our experts can design a system that suits the mission:

Secure, encrypted satellite networks
Voice, data and video capabilities
Trusted hardware solutions from the world’s most trusted communications manufacturers.

We work with military organisations all over the world – Army, Airforce, Navy, and Coast Guard – to enable real-time asset tracking, communications, operational oversight and coordination in remote and hostile environments.

We offer unparalleled access to high speed communications networks via robust, reliable, and portable technology. Whether it’s for tracking a deployed soldier in the field or managing a civil-military operation from the command centre, Ground Control provides military organizations with access to secure and reliable networks.

In order to succeed, you need to rely on a communications provider that has delivered mission critical data for more than 20 years. Whatever the communications challenge, Ground Control can help.

Case Studies

Case Study

The Role of Satellite Communication in Military Engagements

The Icom Push To Talk (PTT) has been a lifeline for over 400 troops entering into unchartered territory while serving their country. Since the army’s adoption of the PTT system, battalions have been able to avoid otherwise deadly enemy engagements through instantaneous communication ability and Talk Groups.

Case Study

Preventing Illegal Deforestation

The world’s two largest rainforests, the Congo Basin and the Amazon, are under threat from illegal extraction activities. Unfortunately, authorities have long lacked the means and mechanisms to deal with these illegalities which destroy ecosystems and undermine both forest and indigenous people's livelihoods.

Case Study

Aviation Trackers for Search and Rescue

Aviation is considered one of the safest methods of travel, but with technical or human error, mistakes and accidents can still happen, leaving pilots and passengers in need of rescue.
