XTAR JOINS AS A NEW MEMBER OF THE SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCITION
The Satellite Industry Association (SIA) is pleased to announce that XTAR has joined as a new member.
“SIA is pleased to welcome XTAR as our latest member,” SIA President, Patricia Cooper said. “XTAR’s X-band satellite communications services experience with U.S. and allied governments and humanitarian and emergency disaster response operations mirrors the interest and breadth of SIA’s own work representing the “Voice of the Satellite Industry.”
“As a new member of SIA, XTAR looks forward to supporting SIA’s efforts through our unique perspective as a provider of government-only services. SIA works with the US government on issues that affect satellite businesses and XTAR’s strong understanding of government requirements will enable SIA to further strengthen its relationship with the US government,” said Philip Harlow, President and COO, XTAR LLC.
