Solutions
The Open Teleport
We provide our customers a unique value – the Open Teleport, a transparent foundation on which USEI builds the high-performance services customers need. The Open Teleport includes our teleports on the US East and West Coasts – operating more than 150 antennas – connected via redundant MPLS fiber with points of presence strategically located near our customers, along with a global array of more than 40 remote earth station antennas managed from our Network Operations Center. On this strong and transparent foundation, we design and engineer systems to best meet each customer’s requirements in a collaborative relationship that delivers outstanding results.
Support for Your Applications
Excellence in custom design, engineering and operations makes our infrastructure deliver what you need. Excellence in customer service and support is what keeps customers working with us for decades. This combination supports the leading-edge applications of our industry.
Multi-band, multi-orbit connectivity
USEI manages a global network of antennas providing GEO, MEO and LEO connectivity as standalone solutions or hybrid architectures offering extreme uptime and throughput for a wide range of government and commercial customers.
Highly secure networks
USEI has served military and civilian government agencies since its founding in the Eighties. We provide deep experience and expertise for highly secure satellite transmission, reception, encoding, decoding and transit to designated portals. Applications range from signal intelligence and reconnaissance to C4I and morale communications.
Antenna hosting and equipment colocation
USEI hosts customer-owned antennas and terminal equipment at its teleports and fully supports them with high-quality operations and maintenance services. Colocation hosting extends to customer-owned baseband and network equipment.
RF Monitoring
In a communications environment increasingly challenged by congestion, interference and jamming, USEI provides advanced RF monitoring services to maintain quality of service for the applications we support.
DiamondLinkTM Space-to-Ground Optical Communications
USEI is the first company in the industry to offer optical satellite communications as a commercial service from teleports in the US and around the world. Each system is capable of delivering 10 Gbps throughput, integrated into USEI’s satellite and terrestrial communications architecture. DiamondLink service takes advantage of the technology’s inherent low probability of intercept (LPI), low probability of detection (LPD), low probability of exploitation (LPE) and anti-jamming capabilities.
Video origination and distribution
Beginning in 2008, USEI pioneered end-to-end IP video streaming solutions, from satellite through the internet and directly to end users. We specialize in providing flexible, high-quality video distribution tailored for content providers, broadcasters, and event organizers. Our capabilities support a wide range of applications, including content acquisition, venue-to-multipoint delivery, and point-to-point transmission. With a technology-agnostic approach, we integrate both established industry standards and emerging innovations – such as SRT, AWS, Zixi, and CDN-over-satellite – to ensure optimal performance and reliability with seamless switching among redundant IP paths.
Earth observation
The global reach of USEI’s high-capacity satellite and terrestrial network makes it ideal for managing massive data downloads from optical, SAR and RF EO satellites serving military, government and commercial missions.
Launch support
USEI provides Launch and Early Orbit (LEOP), Transfer Orbit Support Services (TOSS) and IOT (In-Orbit Testing) to manage the launch, orbital insertion and testing of new satellites entering service.
Research & Development
Our unrelenting focus on technical design, engineering and operation makes USEI a strong partner for research and development in satellite and space technologies.
Our R&D work is pioneering the application of leading-edge technologies to make military and commercial satellite communications more robust and protect the near-Earth space domain on which it depends. These include blockchain, distributed ledgers, 5th generation communications, mesh radio, zero-trust networks and RF and optical sensors.
Among other projects, we are applying leading-edge technologies to ensure reliable communications even in the most highly contested environments to improve the physical and cyber security of electric grids. By analyzing RF signals and antenna positioning data, we created systems to improve space domain awareness, orbit determination and anomaly detection in satcom links.
