Unified Multi-path Connectivity (UMC) is Ultisat’s transport-agnostic approach to networking: satellite, cellular and terrestrial links are combined into one architecture with automated failover, so applications keep running if a single path drops. Ultisat packages UMC in rugged Expeditionary Kits and transit cases for teams that need mission critical communications as soon as they arrive on site.

For tactical communications, Ultisat combines UMC Expeditionary Kits, Starlink kits and private LTE so ground teams have voice, video and data at the deployment site. Its airborne ISR solutions carry sensor data from aircraft to analysts, and GC5 TRANSEC-compliant SATCOM protects traffic that must stay secure. Speedcast’s global network backs both services.
