It was a busy year for Comtech and the company’s CEO, Ken Peterman. In this conversation with Via Satellite’s Mark Holmes, Peterman discusses some of the company’s core initiatives; trends in the industry — including the convergence of satellite and terrestrial technologies; and the importance of bridging the digital divide to connect the unconnected. He asserts that they are better positioned than ever to fully harness the collective power across their global enterprise to provide even more comprehensive and flexible solutions to address their customer’s toughest challenges.

Peterman also talked about the launch of a new company logo and brand identity. As Peterman says, this rebrand aligns with Comtech’s customer-centric focus, its unwavering commitment to accelerating the global technology trajectories, and the next chapter of Comtech’s commitment to delivering the communications solutions that will empower individuals, communities, governments, and companies operating in an era of always-on connectivity by providing access to data and insight in new and unprecedented ways.
