Strattner Financial Group, (OTC:SCNG) today announced that its subsidiary Strattner Technologies LLC entered into an agreement with Pivotel America, Inc. to launch Strattner.Space providing satellite voice, text, data and push-to-talk (PTT) plans and a commercialization platform to the growing satellite communications device market including satellite-smartphones and IoT devices across a broad spectrum of applications in government, aviation, business and recreational use.
“We are excited to become a major commercialization platform in the satellite communications space, leveraging both our expertise and the Pivotel Network with unique benefits like local country mobile numbers, free test call services, and cost control tools for voice and data services, including usage alerts, restricted dialing lists, and IP blacklisting, said Dr. Timo Strattner, CEO of Strattner Financial Group. “These features deliver greater value, increase simplicity and peace of mind.”
Strattner’s clients get one network service with access to four satellite technology options: Inmarsat, Globalstar, Thuraya and Iridium, providing a single platform for customers regardless of the customer’s need for any particular satellite solution coverage. The Pivotel network is the result of more than $75 million invested in telecommunications network infrastructure and services to be a global leading provider of satellite-based mobile services.
“This agreement represents the value that Pivotel can bring with the right partner,” said Robert Sakker, President of Pivotel America, Inc. “Our truly global cross-platform network and unique services pair perfectly with Strattner’s capabilities to offer a satellite services platform built for operational excellence and growth.”
The network will be fully integrated with Pivotel’s Tier 1 carrier-grade, fully redundant switching and transmission infrastructure which is directly interconnected with the satellite operators’ networks, ensuring high levels of network availability and enabling innovative and unique customer services. A modern fully IP-based network supports satellite and terrestrial (4G) voice and high-speed data services and a broad range of value-added services to provide improved call management, messaging and alerting. The Pivotel network is global in reach, connecting four satellite networks to points of interconnect on six continents for maximum performance.
Customers will access and manage their accounts via a portal where they can view their airtime bills, set up auto payments, and configure spend alerts for their satellite data usage. Customers also get free calling to the customer care team to get tech support or ask questions about their airtime.
David Blunk CTO of Strattner Financial Group and managing Director of Strattner Technologies says “As per the 2019 Iridium Annual Report, their commercial user base of 1,165,000 of which 363,000 are subscribed to voice and data plans generated $203M revenue and we see value in there for us. Strattner’s unique position and Pivotel’s network will make for a new offering in the space, appealing to both existing and new satellite communications customers.”
