Learn about the Germantown family that worked the land more than a century before Milestone took shape.
Germantown associates the name Milestone with a shopping Center and housing development, but the family that owned the land for more than 100 years before the company bought it has not even a street named for it. Walmart, Target, Home Depot and other stores now occupy the site of the large farm of William H. Benson. The Benson family’s ties to this area go back to the Revolutionary Days, before there was a Germantown or even a Rt. 118. The only roads at that time were Frederick-Georgetown Road (Rt. 355) and the Road to Monocacy (Clopper Road, Rt. 117).
Montgomery County, Maryland, has long been known as one of the nation’s premier hubs for life sciences and technology but recently, the County has gained global recognition for another high-growth industry: satellite and advanced communications.
The roots of the County’s satellite ecosystem stretch back decades. The former COMSAT Laboratories in Clarksburg helped establish the foundation of modern satellite communications technology and continues to shape the industry today. That legacy directly contributed to the growth of companies like Hughes Network Systems, headquartered in Germantown, which is widely recognized as a pioneer of satellite internet technology and continues to employ nearly 1,000 people locally.
Home to over 120 satellite and advanced communications companies employing approximately 4,500 workers across the region, Montgomery County’s growing prominence in advanced antenna, satellite communications, and space technologies, includes the presence of visionary business leaders, like Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian Technologies who has dubbed the area “Satellite Valley” in recognition of its growing industry concentration and momentum. Intellian, which selected Rockville for its first U.S.-based Advanced Development Center, committed a $100 million investment to develop advanced satellite communication technologies, including phased array antennas and portable military-grade terminals designed for next-generation low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. Montgomery County’s concentration of satellite companies, engineering talent, and proximity to government and defense stakeholders made the region a strategic fit for their expansion.
A leading global provider of stabilized satellite communication and satellite TV antenna systems with more than 70 employees located in Montgomery County, Intellian was one of the businesses featured in a special report from the Financial Times’s fDi Intelligence released in May, highlighting the region’s expanding technology ecosystem. From legacy industry pioneers to fast-growing international companies, such as Thales Defense & Security, Montgomery County offers a deep talent pool with technical expertise, proximity to federal agencies, and highly welcoming and diverse communities, allowing it to continuously attract investment from around the world.
