New York City, March 10, 2026--The World Teleport Association’s (WTA) 2025 Top Operators rankings offer more than a snapshot of industry leadership. They also highlight a defining trend shaping today’s satellite and connectivity marketplace: the growing link between commercial success and certified, standards-based ground infrastructure.
Los Angeles, Calif., March 10, 2026--As part of its move towards service provision and end-to-end connectivity, Orbital Connect has developed a ready-to-operate ground segment solution for LEO earth observation. LEO satellites have the advantage of low latency and high bandwidth, however, they also have the disadvantage of moving rapidly, relative to any fixed point on earth, passing over in only six to twelve minutes. This means that in order to maximize their potential, a robust ground segment is essential.
Los Angeles, Calif., March 10, 2026--Seasoned telecommunications and satellite professionals Krasimir Terziev and Bobby Kirchev started together Orbital Connect in 2020. In a relatively short time, they built the company into one of the leading channel partners and authorized distributors of leading global hardware manufacturers and are now offering ground segment and connectivity services, among others.
