TechCom fully relies on the recognized high-quality of engineering & operations personnel, products and facilities that SES Astra has been developing and maintaining over years for its core business.

The fact that we have a longstanding experience as a satellite operator ourselves allows us to perfectly understand our customers' needs, and to propose them proven engineering & operations solutions directly arising from our core business experience".
