HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Optimal Satcom, Inc., a global leader in satellite capacity management solutions, proudly announces that it surpassed 100 enterprise customers in 2024, a milestone that underscores the company’s continued growth, innovation, and industry leadership. With a customer base that includes the U.S. Government, allied governments, satellite operators, satellite service providers, and key market verticals including enterprise, maritime, and in-flight connectivity, Optimal Satcom continues to expand its impact in the satellite industry.
“This achievement is a testament to our relentless focus on delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to optimize the use of their satellite networks and engineer service offerings that optimize cost, maximize efficiency, and deliver quality,” said Ahsun Murad, Cofounder, President, and CEO of Optimal Satcom. “Our team remains committed to driving innovation, and we are excited to continue enhancing our offerings to meet the rapidly evolving needs of the industry.”
A key driver of this success is the continued evolution of Optimal Satcom’s Enterprise Capacity Manager® (ECM) product. “Though ECM is a very mature product, it continues to undergo major enhancements – driven by a substantial user base with complex link budget analysis and capacity management needs. It is the gold standard for link budgets - the depth and breadth of functionality and the comprehensiveness and accuracy of its models are unprecedented – nothing else comes even close. ECM is capable of supporting almost every satellite, waveform, and antenna technology out there, and offers expanded support for emerging technologies such as electronically steered antennas (ESAs). Adoption of ECM is a reflection of the maturity of an organization and the increase in operational efficiency and integration it can foster is transformational for the company,” Mr. Murad added.
Optimal Satcom has made groundbreaking advances in its Advanced Link Computation Engine™, which harnesses the power of ECM’s link budget algorithms and offers it through a comprehensive API. Based on a scalable containerized architecture, it is now capable of performing more than 10,000 link budgets per second. This unprecedented computational power enables real-time assessment of large, complex networks, allowing customers to optimize resource allocation with greater precision and efficiency.
“Our Advanced Link Computation Engine is transforming the way satellite networks are analyzed and managed,” said Rebecca Fahrmeier, Cofounder and CTO of Optimal Satcom. “This massive computational power enables real-time capacity assessment for large networks, and empowers our customers with near-real-time insights they need to make decisions to adapt to changing demand and network conditions, maximize performance and efficiency, optimize cost, and recover from network failures.”
Further accelerating the company’s momentum is the continued rapid development of its Neuron® product, which features a scalable architecture and a powerful analytics and inferencing engine utilizing AI and machine learning (ML) that is capable of near-real-time data acquisition and processing of analytics from commercial managed service platforms and processing to derive actionable insights. Neuron integrates with ECM and the Advanced Link Computation Engine to provide real-time network visualization, computes key performance indicators (KPIs), and delivers actionable insights that are now being utilized by major service providers for real-time capacity and congestion assessment, cost basis evaluation, and strategic decision-making.
“Neuron is redefining how satellite service providers monitor and optimize their networks,” said Justin Holmes, Senior Director of Product Engineering at Optimal Satcom. “With real-time analytics and seamless integration with our ecosystem, Neuron is enabling our customers to make faster, data-driven decisions that drive efficiency and profitability.”
Optimal Satcom also launched a new product, MissionForge™, in 2024 – a flexible and highly configurable platform for streamlining the provision and delivery of SATCOM and MILSATCOM services enabling organizations to manage the business and technical workflow related to supporting customer missions. Systems incorporating MissionForge are expected to become operational in 2025. MissionForge also integrates with ECM and the Advanced Link Computation Engine to allow planners to rapidly evaluate and qualify existing capacity for missions and develop new mission solutions when needed. It is designed to work in classified environments and supports workflows that cross security domain boundaries.
Optimal Satcom continues to set new standards for innovation and excellence in satellite capacity management. The company invites industry partners, customers, and stakeholders to contact us for further details on its cutting-edge solutions and how they can optimize their satellite network operations.
