After receiving the final approval from the Spanish government authorities, the Santander Teleport (ST) is now owned by FMC, a company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. ERZIA will continue to run its Ku-Band satellite network and Network Operations Centre out of the ST facilities, leveraging the expertise and structure that has been built through its partnership with the former Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN).
With the establishment of the ST, ERZIA expanded its business by providing satellite communications to ships at sea, and it has continued to do so for almost 10 years. Most recently rebranded as VIDA, this branch of ERZIA now focuses on a customised approach to hybrid satcoms aimed at maritime customers such as superyachts. Besides dedicated satellite coverage, VIDA is now expanding its services to include 4G/5G solutions, and maritime mobile services (MSS) for emergency and out of reach areas of the globe.
“We anticipate steady growth for our microwave division, and plan to develop new engineering solutions for VIDA that are looking ahead of this rapidly changing industry and going beyond our customer’s needs and expectations” said Luis Garcia, CEO of ERZIA.
