Extract from the award rationale: Whereas other space-based defense companies have struggled to develop a comprehensive technology mix for cost-effective COTS (Commercial off the shelf) based applications, ND SatCom seems to have successfully tailored its technology mix to develop unique solutions and applications targeted for low-to-mid-tier customers. Sensing technology trends and blending existing products with the needs and features of cutting edge defense applications have enabled ND SatCom to produce space-based defense communication ground infrastructures and integration solutions that proved to be real order winners.
Norbert Hölzle, CEO of ND SatCom (in photo on right), states: “We are proud that Frost & Sullivan honored our European defense business activities with this prestigious award. Only if industry is ‘in concert’ with the military, are we able to provide today’s warfighter with the highest level of mission assurance. Strengthening this dialogue, ND SatCom has become a trusted and reliable partner for robust, interoperable, and flexible satellite-based solutions to transmit critical content — anytime, anywhere.”
The Frost & Sullivan award for Competitive Strategy Leadership is presented to the company whose competitive strategy has yielded significant gains in market share and who executed an innovative strategy within the existing competitive landscape, empowering the company to overtake the competition. “Our strategy to market entry and growth has elements which were proven to be successful in penetrating niche markets and maintaining our growth stream. And in today’s market, it’s the growth and flexibility that matter, not company size”, states Johann Pohany, CTO and COO of ND SatCom (in photo on left).
