I wrote this article after noticing that this remarkable satellite company existed in my area and did not have a Wikipedia page. From my research I noticed they are innovators in the field and hold numerous patents in the satellite communications industry and specifically aeronautical achievements. To quote from the website "Satcom Direct’s Global One Number® is known throughout the aviation industry and we have expanded its use to include connectivity to multiple services such as Verizon, Iridium and even high-speed voice calls via Inmarsat’s Swift64 service – all through a single 10-digit number." http://www.satcomdirect.com/main/global_one_number.asp - Please contact me via harrydeco@yahoo.com if you have any concerns.

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, for it is highly promotional, rather than descriptive, and furthermore gives no indication that the company might be important

An article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. You also need to write like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the organization,. Remember not to copy from a web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

In particular, if the company is the leader in its field with respect to market share or size, give the figures. We need to know the basics: when the company was founded & by whom, what the present ownership is, the number of employees, the revenue or some similar  monetary figure. We do need the major products listed and described, but not praised. We need reviews of them from sources such as major trade journals--independent reviews, not PR writeups.,
