Florida-based satellite communications provider ITC Global, Inc. recently reported that it has finally acquired Spidersat Communications Limited. The combined SATCOM companies can now provide mining and mining-related customers in Africa with seamless satellite coverage, service, and local support.

Spidersat Communications Limited is based in Tanzania. The Company has established offices and technical support personnel in Ghana, Mwanza, Accra. It also has a presence in Australia by way of its Perth and Belmont offices.

The integrated global communications solutions provided by Spidersat are dedicated to delivering mission critical satellite-based communication services to African mining, exploration, and mining services companies. Spidersat also provides enterprise customers with custom networks and Internet-by-satellite bandwidth access wherever they may be in Africa.

ITC Global will be aided in its plans to expand its African satellite services by the newly-acquired Spidersat's many years of experience in installing and delivering satellite communication solutions in the remote regions of the continents. The broad range of SATCOM services that Spidersat offers includes fixed VSAT (very small aperture terminal) solutions and mobile satellite solutions.
