Inmarsat Governmen | March 23, 2022
Inmarsat Government, the leading provider of secure, global, mission-critical telecommunications to the U.S. government, is the recipient of a 2022 Satellite Mobile Innovation Award from the Mobile Satellite User Association (MSUA). The company was honored in the “Aerospace Mobile Innovation” category for its L-Band Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (LAISR) service.
This year’s recognition marks the sixth time in seven years that Inmarsat was selected as a winner of this prestigious award. LAISR joins Inmarsat’s Arctic payloads – GX10A & GX10B – Global Xpress, LACE II, L-TAC and WiSL in the list of the company’s innovations that MSUA has recognized with this prestigious award.
Inmarsat Government, a wholly owned subsidiary of Inmarsat, developed the LAISR capability in response to U.S. government requirements for cost-effective high-speed beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) global connectivity for small-aperture aero platforms. With LAISR, airborne users can receive and return large quantities of video and sensor data at rates as high as 3 Mbps, while simultaneously maintaining the reliability, ease of use and low cost of adoption that is provided by the ELERA worldwide space and ground network.
LAISR is delivered via low-profile, small form-factor ultralightweight terminals that maximize aviation platform range and reduce signatures. The compact size and low weight of these terminals make them ideal for smaller Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
Inmarsat’s team prides itself on delivering innovative solutions that meet our customers current and future needs – and LAISR is a testament to our commitment to the U.S. government market. Every innovation is designed with our customers and their missions in mind so that they can operate with confidence.”
Steve Gizinski, President, Inmarsat Government

GovCIO | January 20, 2022
GovernmentCIO, a leading provider of high-end technology and digital services to federal agencies, announced Thursday it is rebranding the company as GovCIO. The move reflects the company's accelerated growth, expansion into new agencies, and increased service offerings.
The rebrand underscores how GovCIO is modernizing its approach and practices to better reflect its new goals and momentum while still retaining its core mission and values. GovCIO has updated its logo and will launch a website redesign in March as part of the rebrand rollout this year.
This evolution of the brand follows last year's acquisition of Salient CRGT (SCRGT), a leading provider of data analytics, cloud, agile development, cybersecurity, and infrastructure solutions to national security, health, and civilian agencies. The combined company now has more than 2,600 employees and an annual revenue exceeding $700 million.
"We've expanded both our footprint across the defense, health and civilian spaces, and the breadth of capabilities we can offer customers. The new name represents both where the company has been as well as where the company is going," said GovCIO CEO Jim Brabston.
The integrated GovCIO better positions the company across the government marketplace. Company leaders evaluated what GovCIO was at the start, what it is today, and where it wants to go in the future. Through this process, they have made sure to stay true to GovCIO's roots and core founding mission of transforming government IT.
GovCIO will continue to use IT to transform how government serves citizens while supporting each agency's unique mission. Employees will create solutions that optimize how its customers operate so they can focus on what really matters — their customers. Visit www.govcio.com to explore the new brand and capabilities.
