Proactive Communications, Inc. (PCI) - Secure Satellite Communications and Remote Tactical Access Networks

Proactive Communications (PCI) has a military heritage that makes the company uniquely qualified to assist with information communications technology (ICT) in support of the diverse and challenging missions being confronted by today’s military. PCI is an all-conditions satellite communications (SATCOM) provider with worldwide service-delivery capabilities, even in harsh environments such as warzones.

The VSAT network PCI designed in Iraq to support US forces and the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior is the world’s largest secure SATCOM Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) installation in the world. Our all-conditions capabilities also make us well-suited for disaster recovery communications, as well as a broad range of enterprise IT solutions.

Secure voice, video and data via satellite communications - anytime, anywhere

PCI’s personnel understand the importance of a secure network for war-fighters, because they’ve been war-fighters themselves. The company is well-staffed and well-equipped for service in challenging environments that require rapid deployment and employees embedded onsite in the field. As a result, PCI has become a proven war-zone resource to US military commanders, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq, where the company has supported US Army operations since 2004.

As organizations begin to identify mission-critical communications needs, PCI’s engineers work directly with military personnel throughout the mission analysis process. PCI quickly analyzes the requirements, then designs and engineers an ICT solution for even the most complex and demanding problem.
