NSSLGlobal celebrates 55 years of satellite communication excellence

NSSLGlobal is commemorating its 55th anniversary this year, marking more than five decades of engineering innovation in satellite communications and systems integration. Established in 1969, the company boasts a workforce of over 250 employees spread across nine countries, including Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, and the USA.

NSSLGlobal's client base features notable names such as the UK Ministry of Defence, the German Armed Forces, various NATO organisations, and large commercial maritime companies like Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and Teekay. The company's CEO, Sally-Anne Ray, attributes their enduring success to an unwavering commitment to innovation and customer service. “At NSSLGlobal we never stand still. Over the last 55 years, we have consistently proven ourselves to be agile and innovative, which has enabled us to meet the changing needs of our customers,” Ray said.

“We’re immensely proud of what we have achieved during this time and everyone who has been on this journey with us has contributed to our status as an engineering powerhouse, with a laser focus on customer service. We are excited about the future and remain committed to innovating and providing our customers with the leading-edge solutions and services they have come to expect. We can’t wait to see what the next 55 years hold.”

The company has built a strong reputation as a technology-agnostic solutions provider by partnering with major MSS and VSAT satellite operators and manufacturers. This strategic alignment enables NSSLGlobal to deliver practical, cost-effective, and forward-looking solutions that meet the current and future needs of its diverse clientele.

In addition to serving governmental and commercial maritime sectors, NSSLGlobal also engages in community and charitable projects. One such effort involved supporting Hari Budha Magar, a former Gurkha and double above-the-knee amputee, who successfully summited Mt Everest. This initiative aims to raise awareness of societal issues around disability and the environment.

NSSLGlobal's Research and Development division, based in Norway, is crucial in developing cutting-edge satellite-based solutions. The division focuses on products such as IPTV and advanced VSAT technology, including global hubs and modems for mobility and fixed applications.

The company’s broad service portfolio includes SMART maritime technology services, satellite communications solutions using both GEO and LEO networks, and specialised maintenance plans. These SMART Maintenance Plans offer technical services like remote and onboard support, annual surveys, system replacements, regulatory guidance, and data management through the INSIGHT portal. These capabilities ensure customers can better manage their budgets and operational needs.

To maintain high standards, NSSLGlobal adheres to numerous certifications, including Information Security Management Systems 27001:2013, Quality Management 9001:2015, Environmental Management 14001:2015, Health and Safety Management 45001:2018, and Collaborative Business Relationships 44001:2017.

Based in the UK, NSSLGlobal remains dedicated to delivering innovative and customer-centric solutions, reaffirming its position in the satellite communications and systems integration industry after 55 years of operation.
