X2nSat has a high ­capacity satellite gateway and 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) located in California, with redundant sites and data centers spread throughout the United States. Axesat, serving corporate clients in Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Central America, is based in Colombia, with operations centers in Bogota and Mexico City.

Together, the companies’ pooled resources include five satellite gateways, eight business offices, permanent in-­house resources in 10 countries, 291 employees, and operations on a total of 10 satellites. In addition to typical broadband applications, Axesat will have access to new Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and business continuity products already available in the United States.
