Satellite data communications company Orbcomm, has entered into an agreement to sell the assets of Stellar Satellite Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary that sells satellite hardware, to M2M based satellite and terrestrial communicators manufacturer Quake Global.
Through this acquisition and the planned continuation of Stellar’s operations in Dulles, Virginia, Quake will establish an East Coast office. This will enable Quake, whose headquarters are in San Diego, to expand and improve its customer service and sales efforts.
Polina Braunstein, president & CEO of Quake Global, said: "Adding Stellar’s catalog of Orbcomm modems to the already extensive line of Quake communicators will strengthen our long-standing relationship with Orbcomm and will reinforce Quake’s position as the leader among satellite M2M device manufacturers.
"The integration of the personnel and engineering talents of these two very experienced companies that were pioneers in the manufacture of satellite subscriber communicators will work to develop a new generation of smart modems poised to take full advantage of the next generation of satellites that are on the near horizon."
