ST Engineering iDirect’s Public Safety solution wins MSUA Satellite Mobile Innovation Award 2025

March 18, 2025

ST Engineering iDirect has been awarded the President’s Award for Humanitarian Aid/Disaster Response by the Mobile Satellite Users Association (MSUA), for the company’s leading-edge satellite technology in public safety communications.

ST Engineering iDirect’s public safety solution ensures reliable, scalable and secure connectivity for first responders, emergency services and disaster recovery teams, even in the most challenging environments. Designed for rapid deployment and operational continuity, the solution leverages advanced satellite connectivity to ensure continuous communications where terrestrial networks fail. Its multi-band compatibility across all satellite architectures, along with support for numerous waveforms, ensures flexibility and efficiency in dynamic emergency scenarios.

Our satellite technology is a critical enabler of mission-critical operations, supporting customers such as Verizon in their vital efforts to deliver reliable and seamless connectivity for first responders when it matters most. Our longstanding partnership with Verizon’s Frontline team is a testament to how innovation in satellite communications can enhance public safety preparedness on a significant scale. — Darren Ludington, Regional Vice President Americas at ST Engineering iDirect

Verizon has been a partner of ST Engineering iDirect since 2005. The telecommunications provider uses ST Engineering iDirect’s multiservice ground systems for cellular backhaul, to access communication networks over satellite during disasters and for business continuity.

The MSUA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting satellite mobility innovation and development of the satellite mobility market worldwide. ST Engineering iDirect received the award at a luncheon held during the SATELLITE 2025 conference in Washington, D.C.
