Working to change the way an entire industry looks at space-based communications and data, ATLAS Space Operations is taking a very different approach to satellite communications. With the firm founded by US military veterans with a combined 110+ years of experience in the satellite communications industry, the effort has been to form a company around providing affordable, secure, and exceptional global communications services to the rapidly growing global SATCOM industry. The firm's developed software -- designated Freedom™ - is a cloud-based, secure, and scalable solution to satellite communications. Having been employed successfully in both government and commercial missions, in contrast to complex, costly, and labor-intensive legacy approaches, Freedom™ makes communicating with satellites simpler, faster, and more economical than ever before and eliminates the need for satellite owners to act as ground station operators.
