Strong1 Brothers

What Strong1 Brothers does

Strong1 Brothers Ltd. is a Brooklyn, New York-based telecommunications contractor, manufacturer, and systems integrator established in 1970. The company designs, manufactures, and deploys advanced communications, satellite infrastructure, digital broadcast, RF, surveillance, and mission-critical electronic solutions, operating under the trade names 'Strong Communications' and 'Strong1 Brothers Corporation' with a corporate mailing address at 99 Wall Street, New York. Core offerings include TX/RX satellite communication systems, teleport design and construction, VSAT and microwave networks, DVB/DTH/IPTV broadcast infrastructure with 4K/8K Ultra HD encoding and decoding, UAV communication and control systems, secure encrypted voice/video/data communications, robotic monitoring and surveillance platforms, border monitoring towers, fiber-optic transmission systems, and digital satellite receivers and set-top boxes. The company leverages a multi-vendor partner ecosystem — including Comtech EF Data, Newtec, iDirect, Invacom, Inmarsat, Norsat, IRT Technologies, New Japan Radio, Promax Electronics, CommScope, and SPC Japan — to assemble integrated systems rather than relying on proprietary IP.

The business model is project-based and government-contractor driven. Revenue is generated through engineering, manufacturing, deployment, and operational support services sold via direct field sales to U.S. federal agencies, defense contractors, international governments, telecommunications providers, and enterprise organizations. The company employs a 'Whole-of-Project' methodology covering full network development lifecycle for international NGN deployments and references 500+ telecommunications facilities deployed worldwide and ICT training programs supporting 18,000+ students. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. AI capabilities are limited to manufacturing-floor applications: AI-driven quality control, predictive maintenance, digital automation, and smart robotics that link real-time sales demand to production output. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional capital, funding rounds, M&A activity, or patent portfolio, and lists only 1–10 employees alongside a six-person technical team.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CACI International: Federal IT and defense systems integrator providing communications, surveillance, and electronic solutions to U.S. government agencies. Overlaps with Strong1's defense telecommunications and federal systems integration work but at vastly greater scale.
• L3Harris Technologies: Large defense prime with a substantial secure communications and tactical SATCOM portfolio. Competes for the same defense telecom and surveillance programs but at a fundamentally larger scale across many other defense segments.
• ViaSat (Viasat / Inmarsat combined): Major satellite communications company and Strong1 partner (Inmarsat). Competes across satellite networking, defense comms, and broadband services; Strong1 resells ViaSat/Inmarsat products while also competing for adjacent government integration work.

Regional players

• SES Government Solutions: Government-focused satellite communications services subsidiary of SES, delivering managed SATCOM to U.S. federal agencies. Comparable in delivering satellite communications solutions to defense and federal customers, though primarily a capacity/service provider rather than equipment integrator.

Direct peers

• Gilat Satellite Networks: Israeli-headquartered satellite ground equipment and network solutions provider serving defense, government, and commercial customers. Closely comparable to Strong1's VSAT, earth station, and managed satellite communications business lines.
• Kratos Defense & Security Solutions: Defense technology integrator with a strong satellite communications, RF systems, and unmanned systems portfolio. Comparable to Strong1's defense telecommunications, UAV control, and surveillance offerings, and competing for similar federal procurement vehicles.
• iDirect Government (ST Engineering iDirect): Specialized satellite ground systems vendor focused on defense and government VSAT networks. A direct partner of Strong1 (whose product list prominently features iDirect) and a competing integrator in the defense SATCOM terminal and hub market.
• Comtech Telecommunications Corp. Long-established U.S. satellite communications equipment manufacturer and integrator serving defense, government, and commercial markets. Directly comparable as both a supplier whose products Strong1 distributes (Comtech EF Data) and a competing integrator in the same defense/government SATCOM market.
• Hughes Network Systems (EchoStar): Major satellite ground systems and managed network services provider serving government, defense, and enterprise markets. Comparable in satellite infrastructure deployment, managed network services, and integrator role for enterprise/government customers.

Emerging players

• Datapath (now part of Amentum-aligned portfolio): Mid-sized government IT and communications integrator providing field support, network infrastructure, and deployable communications to defense customers. Comparable as a smaller integrator competing in adjacent defense communications and infrastructure programs.
