Intelligent Waves | June 09, 2022
Intelligent Waves (IW), a leading IT integrator that provides the government with mission-focused multi-domain operational expertise and innovation through high-impact technology solutions, is pleased to announce that we have been named Editor's Choice as the Best Cloud Workload Protection solution by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security publication.
Intelligent Waves is thrilled to receive one of the most prestigious and coveted cybersecurity awards in the world fromCyber Defense Magazineduring their 10thanniversary as an independent cybersecurity news and information provider. We knew the competition would be tough, and with top judges who are leading infosec experts from around the globe, we couldn’t be more pleased.”
John Hammes, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer for Intelligent Waves
The Phantom Next Generation solution from IW allows enterprises to connect to foreign points of presence for remote open-source information collecting and study while also shielding organizations and persons from foreign intelligence exposure. Furthermore, because it does not require access to a classified facility or network, the unclassified but secure cloud-based capacity facilitates telework.
In this way, government organizations can benefit from a distributed, internationally remote workforce. Phantom makes use of the GRAYPATH network's full capabilities to ensure that application traffic is not detected, intercepted, or exploited, and to conceal the user's location. The Phantom platform compares the digital signature of the user to the desired place of presence.
Furthermore, the user's genuine IP address, location, and data usage are hidden. User-generated traffic is made to appear to come from a remote point of presence (PoP) or interface server at the same time. The internet researcher can efficiently "hide among the noise" of normal IP activity in this manner.

SES | August 02, 2022
SES and its wholly-owned subsidiary SES Government Solutions (SES GS) today announced the completion of the acquisition of DRS Global Enterprise Solutions (GES) from Leonardo DRS for $450 million after obtaining all the necessary regulatory approvals. The DRS GES business will be combined with SES GS to create a scaled solutions provider serving the multi-orbit satellite communications needs of the US Government and supporting missions anywhere on land, at sea, or in the air.
With the combined businesses operating as SES Government Solutions, the new organization will comprise a cross-functional workforce with deep technical expertise and a proven ability to integrate and manage multi-orbit geostationary and medium earth orbit (MEO) services as well as multi-operator network solutions. In particular, SES GS will offer highly flexible second-generation MEO services – via SES’s soon-to-be launched O3b mPOWER system – with a unique combination of low latency and high throughput per terminal for high-value missions, to an expanded government customer base. SES GS will also leverage essential tools and expertise in cybersecurity operations, customer support, governance and compliance. The combined business will continue to serve US Government customers under the direction of the SES GS Proxy Board of Directors.
The consolidation of DRS GES with SES GS is expected to unlock $25 million of annualized run-rate synergies, with government becoming SES’s largest data business segment in terms of revenue.
The combined business will be led by David Fields, who assumes responsibilities on August 1, 2022 as appointed by the SES GS Proxy Board. Fields has over 30 years of experience in the satellite communications and information technology (IT) services industries, and joins SES GS from DRS GES. He succeeds Brigadier General Pete Hoene, USAF (Retired), who, after 11 years at the helm of SES GS and decades of dedicated service in the satellite communications arena, will take his retirement.
“I am extremely excited about the potential that this combination unleashes, reinforcing our commitment to provide best-in-class satellite network solutions to the US Department of Defense customers, We are delighted to welcome Fields, who comes to SES GS with extensive knowledge and expertise in the satellite communications industry and a demonstrated record of achievement in the US Government sector. Well-respected by industry partners and customers, he has developed deep and trusted relationships with many US Government agencies, and we anticipate David to build on his success through his leadership of the combined business. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Pete Hoene, whose leadership has resulted in SES GS achieving outstanding growth rate of over 30% in just the last five years. We wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement.”
