MS Satcom

What MS Satcom does

MS Satcom (legal name: MS Satcom Uydu ve Haberleşme Sistemleri) is a privately held Turkish manufacturer specializing in satellite communication hardware and live broadcast vehicles. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Pendik, Istanbul, the company designs and produces a broad portfolio of antenna systems operating in Ku Band and Ka Band frequencies, including SOTM (Satcom-on-the-Move), Flyaway, VSAT, Mobile TV, and Ground Station systems for deployment across sea, submarine, land, and air platforms. The firm also manufactures SNG (Satellite News Gathering) and OB Van (Outside Broadcast) vehicles tailored to the broadcasting industry, supported by an in-house engineering team covering design, integration, installation, and technical support.

The company's products are multi-operator compatible, supporting Turksat, Eutelsat, Yahsat, Arabsat, Hotbird, Telenor, Hylas, Intelsat, Nilesat, and other major satellite constellations. MS Satcom monetizes primarily through custom-engineered hardware sales — bespoke antenna terminals and bespoke broadcast vehicles — supplemented by professional services for satellite ground station installation, TV and radio channel setup, mesh network deployment, and IPTV infrastructure. Customers include Turkish broadcasters (TRT, TRT World, Kanal D, Fox TV, Habertürk, Digiturk, TGRT), news agencies (DHA, İHA, Hürriyet), telecom and satellite operators (Turkcell, Turksat, Profen), government entities (İBB, Ministry of Agriculture), academic institutions (İstanbul Technical University), and humanitarian organizations (Kızılay).

The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting broadcasting, defense/security, oil & gas, and satellite operator verticals, with no disclosed channel partners or resellers. Marketing is limited to a content-driven blog and newsletter. The company maintains both Turkish and English-language websites, signaling an ambition to serve customers beyond Turkey, though Turkey remains the sole documented operating geography. With 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding or revenue figures, MS Satcom operates as a small, vertically specialized manufacturer whose investment profile hinges on custom-engineering capability and entrenched domestic relationships rather than scale or recurring software revenue.
