First mile through last mile, as one managed service.
Ground Orbit Networks is a Virginia-based provider focused on connectivity for government and mission customers. Ground Orbit provides first mile through last mile connectivity as one managed service. We handle the complexity of the network end to end so teams can focus on work that advances business and mission objectives.
Connecting a field site is supposed to be the easy part
Connecting a field site to the cloud and to headquarters is supposed to be the easy part of a mission. It rarely is. Before any mission work starts, someone has to choose a transport and sign the carrier contract, secure traffic across networks the team does not own, arrange private access into the cloud, extend the network back to headquarters, and then keep all of it running.
Each of those is a separate vendor, a separate skill set and a separate failure point. The teams that need connectivity most — forward-deployed and remote teams — usually have the least capacity to manage it.
One accountable operator
The service is designed so Ground Orbit selects and contracts the transports, supplies and manages the routers, operates the points of presence and the core, and provisions cloud access. Teams no longer have to compare transport offerings or work out how to connect their users and systems; they connect to the service, and we handle the rest.
One party is responsible for the whole path. Path monitoring and a service desk are part of the service design; hours, tiers and reporting are set out in the service agreement.
Secure by design, not bolted on
Security is built into the path rather than configured after the circuit is up. Traffic over commercial cellular and satellite carriers is wrapped in a post-quantum cryptography VPN from the first hop. Each customer runs in its own Layer 2 or Layer 3 segments.
Cloud workloads are reached over Direct Connect from inside the managed network, never across the public internet. Headquarters, a corporate office or a partner site joins over private WAN transport on the same managed routers. The field site appears as part of your own network; no site-to-site tunnels to build or maintain.
Two of everything
The reference design pairs every element: two routers at each site, two switches and two routers in every point of presence, two cross-connects into AWS, two private WAN circuits. Failover is handled by the service, not by your team.
A site can carry more than one transport at once, so a cellular outage or a satellite weather event does not take it offline. The design is built so a single device, circuit or carrier failure does not isolate a site.
