What Cinetcomm does

Cinetcomm is a Las Vegas-headquartered, privately held provider of hybrid satellite-and-terrestrial communications solutions serving government, public safety, utilities, railroad, and critical infrastructure customers. Its core platform, TotalConnex, is a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) that blends Land Mobile Radio (LMR), FirstNet, Verizon Frontline, LTE, Push-to-Talk, and satellite bearers (LEO via Eutelsat OneWeb plus traditional VSAT) into a single managed service with automatic least-cost/best-quality path selection and 100% claimed North American coverage. Supporting products include the patented DEFI hurricane-resilient multi-band satellite antenna (rated for 200 mph sustained winds), InstaGrid standalone satellite backhaul systems, and certified terminals such as the Intellian Manpack OW7MP (LEO, MIL-STD-810H/IP67) and Cobham EXPLORER 323. Cinetcomm owns and operates the 9-acre Atlanta International Teleport in Douglasville, Georgia — one of the oldest operating teleports in North America — alongside 24x7 Network Operations and Customer Care centers, and is a TIPS-awarded vendor enabling government procurement without competitive bidding.

The company monetizes through a combination of recurring managed network service fees, hardware/terminal sales, and low monthly per-unit operating costs on deployed endpoints. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales from corporate headquarters (702-844-2410, 24x7 support), supplemented by the TIPS government contract channel and relationship-driven demand generation through industry events such as IACP. Named customers include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of Interior, Desert Southwest Region 8), a major Desert Southwest tribal law enforcement agency (multi-phase TotalConnex deployment plus Operation Stonegarden supplemental), a major North American railroad, Univision Networks, Kroyer Racing Engines, and Advanced Shelter Systems. Founded around 2012 with the TotalConnex architecture (the Atlanta International Teleport dates to 1978), the company is led by President & CEO Tom D. Soumas, Jr. and reports 101–250 employees with no disclosed external funding.

Broad incumbents

• Hughes Network Systems (EchoStar): Major VSAT and managed SD-WAN provider with government and enterprise teams; competes with Cinetcomm at the larger managed-services tier and on LEO/managed hybrid offerings (Hughes Jupiter + OneWeb partnerships).
• Viasat: Large satellite operator and government/mobility connectivity provider with hybrid sat/terrestrial solutions; broadly competes with Cinetcomm for federal, public-safety, and enterprise hybrid connectivity deals.
• Verizon Frontline: Carrier-grade first-responver network with prioritized LTE and FirstNet integration; the terrestrial anchor partner within TotalConnex and a competitor when agencies procure standalone priority connectivity.
• Motorola Solutions: Dominant LMR and CommandCentral public-safety software vendor; intersects with Cinetcomm where TotalConnex wraps around LMR systems and competes on integrated push-to-talk/mapping offerings.

Emerging players
