SpaceBridge Inc., a global leader in satellite networking solutions, has successfully concluded a high-level training program in collaboration with its growing partnership with Telcoven and the Chilean Army.
This in-depth training, held at SpaceBridge’s facilities in Canada, focused on the deployment and implementation of SpaceBridge’s new ESTELLA platform, representing a significant milestone in enhancing Chile’s defense communication capabilities and disaster management systems.
The comprehensive five-day program provided detailed insights into the ESTELLA platform, which is designed to meet Chile’s diverse geographical and operational needs. This partnership reaffirms SpaceBridge’s commitment to providing cutting-edge, reliable, and customized satellite solutions to the defense and government sectors worldwide.
“At SpaceBridge, we go beyond delivering advanced technology. Our aim is to empower our clients with the knowledge and support they need to fully leverage the capabilities of our systems,” said David Gelerman, CEO of SpaceBridge. “Our partnership with Telcoven and the Chilean Army exemplifies the collaborative approach that drives innovation and excellence in satellite communications.”
A Strategic Alliance for Defense and Emergency Communication
Carlos Cabrera, CEO of Telcoven, underscored the value of the partnership and the quality of the training.
The ESTELLA platform will support the Chilean Army’s command and control communication systems across a variety of challenging landscapes, from arid deserts to mountainous regions. This system will not only enhance defense operations but also play an essential role in Chile’s national emergency management efforts, including disaster risk mitigation.
Maximiliano Espinosa, Project Leader for the Chilean Army, praised SpaceBridge for its forward-thinking technology: “During this course, we were thrilled to see firsthand how SpaceBridge has developed some of the most advanced technology in the market. Although SpaceBridge may be smaller compared to some competitors, the intelligence behind its development is remarkable, putting them ahead of the competition in many ways.”
The program offered more than technical training—it provided an opportunity for direct interaction between the Chilean Army and SpaceBridge’s engineering team.
Looking Ahead
This training marks the successful completion of the first phase in a multi-stage collaboration between SpaceBridge, Telcoven, and the Chilean Army. Future phases will include additional hands-on training, system customization, and the further expansion of satellite communication systems across Chile, empowering the Army to enhance its national communication infrastructure.
Rafael Guerra, another key member of the Chilean Army team, also shared his perspective: “The training not only provided us with a robust understanding of the ESTELLA platform, it also addressed key technological gaps in our communications infrastructure. Our collaboration with SpaceBridge has significantly advanced our ability to maintain secure and reliable communications, enhancing both defense operations and emergency response efforts.”
Through this dynamic partnership, SpaceBridge is further cementing its position as a global leader in satellite networking solutions. By delivering groundbreaking technologies like ESTELLA, SpaceBridge empowers governments and Defense sectors to enhance their operational efficiency and reliability, keeping them at the forefront of innovation in our increasingly connected world.
