TrustComm was acquired by the American investor group Global Secure Networks Inc. (GSN). The TrustComm company name will be retained. The GSN investor group is led by Bob Roe, who has served as TrustComm’s CEO since March 2012. Roe has more than 35 years experience in government and commercial satcom, including 22 years in the U.S. Navy as a communications and intelligence officer. The GSN equity infusion is enabling TrustComm to expand its operations and continue its high level of professional service to U.S. government agencies.

From its secure teleport and network operations center (S-NOC) at Ellington Field Base in Houston, TrustComm has successfully deployed a wide range of managed satellite networking solutions to many government agencies and commercial enterprises since 1999. TrustComm recently opened its new corporate headquarters with an expanded executive team and fully redundant S-NOC at the Quantico Corporate Center in Stafford, Virginia.

TrustComm today also announced it will serve as a subcontractor to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC; NYSE: SAI) in its fulfillment of the Global Tactical Advanced Communications Systems and Services (GTACS) IDIQ multiple-award contract from the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T). The award enables SAIC to compete for task orders under the five-year contract, which has a total value of $10 billion.

“Finalizing our new ownership is the latest major step in the transformation of TrustComm into the foremost, dedicated provider of secure government COMSATCOM solutions,” Roe said. “Going forward, we expect to continue our expansion to maintain our strict adherence to the DoD’s demanding information-assurance and operational-security requirements. Working with SAIC to help meet the U.S. Army’s secure COMSATCOM needs under the GTACS contract provides us with a key opportunity to deliver world-class support to PEO C3T.”
