connection." said Bilal Awada, Chief Technology Officer of C-COM

C-COM has selected Viasat as the ideal technology partner to
enter the Comm-On-The-Move market as a result of their extensive

technology strengths and bring mutual benefits to the customers of
both companies," said Stefano Vaccaro, Managing Director at
