UPDATED: Kymeta Acquires Lepton Global Solutions

August 18, 2020

Kymeta Corporation has successfully acquired Lepton Global Solutions LLC, which will become a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Kymeta Corporation.

Established in 2013, Lepton Global Solutions is a provider of satellite-based, customized, turnkey communications solutions and services, with expertise in the Intelligence Community (IC), Special Operations Command (SOC) and other government sectors.

Acquiring Lepton combines critical capabilities and strengthens Kymeta’s ability to pursue key opportunities with U.S. defense and government customers in locations around the world. As a rapidly growing satellite communication services provider with a global and scalable network infrastructure, the company provides customized end-to-end connectivity solutions that can be deployed quickly and efficiently to meet the needs of customers wherever they are located.

Together, Kymeta and Lepton will bring better solutions to the market as each company’s resources will enhance the other’s ability to meet customers’ needs. Current Lepton customers will experience no interruption in service in the short-term and will continue receiving Lepton’s full suite of products, services, and support.

Over the long-term, customers will enjoy the benefits of the joint Kymeta-Lepton collaboration, and they will continue to build on Lepton’s established excellence as a satellite service provider and Kymeta’s unique product and services portfolio.
