ASX:SDA), a leading global satellite communications and network service provider, today announced that its subsidiary SAIT Communications Ltd, has changed its name to SpeedCast, effective October 7, 2016.
The name change symbolizes the completion of the integration of SAIT Communications into SpeedCast following the acquisition in July 2015. The successful integration enables the Company to realize the synergies of the combined organizations and deliver world-class services to maritime customers.

This will be one of the key growth engines and important contributors to the success of SpeedCast", commented Athina Vezyri, Vice President, Maritime Sales and MSS Services - Europe, SpeedCast.
