ST Engineering iDirect Deploys Intuition Ground System for Datacom in APAC

Herndon, Va. – September 17, 2026 -- ST Engineering iDirect is powering satcom integrator Datacom with its Intuition ground system, enabling cloud-native satellite services across the Asia-Pacific region and targeting double-digit reductions in total cost of ownership for Datacom's customers.

Datacom adopts cloud-native architecture to escape traditional hardware cycles

The deployment supports Datacom's Satellite Modernization Blueprint, a scalable framework designed to move operators away from five- to ten-year hardware migration cycles toward software-defined, cloud-native ground infrastructure. Intuition will be provided to Datacom under a subscription model, backed by technical enablement, validation testing, and ongoing lifecycle support from ST Engineering iDirect.
