COMSAT owns and operates two commercial teleport facilities in the United States.

Each teleport has operated continuously since 1976. Both facilities provide secure equipment collocation, uplink services for government and commercial satellite services, and Inmarsat mobile satellite services. Our teleports are provisioned with state-of-the art fire suppression systems, fully redundant power and environmental systems and diverse fiber terrestrial connectivity.

Both COMSAT teleports operate in accordance with the U.S. National Industrial Security Program (NISP). The security of the teleport is administered by an on-site Facility Security Officer (FSO). The entire perimeters of both teleports are protected by fencing with exterior lighting. Each facility is equipped with intrusion detection systems as well as High Definition Video Surveillance Systems and Access Control Systems designed to control movement through the entire grounds and buildings to ensure the safekeeping of the personnel and equipment contained within.
