TeleCommunication Systems Receives Combined $5.5 Million in Delivery Orders from U.S. Army

TeleCommunication Systems TSYS, a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication technology, today announced that it has received a combined $5.5 million in delivery orders from the U.S. Army for equipment, field services support and maintenance of Secret Internet Protocol Router and Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Access Point (SNAP) Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite systems equipment. The U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network - Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program is funding these procurements through the Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle. "Reliable, secure communications systems are an ever-increasing part of our warfighters' arsenal," said Michael Bristol, senior vice president and general manager of government solutions for TCS. "With TCS' Army-proven, battle-ready SNAP satellite-based product lines and our committed, experienced field service support professionals, their chances of achieving a successful mission are greatly enhanced." The TCS SNAP VSAT systems provide multimedia communications capabilities which convey encrypted voice, video and data. TCS SNAP products are highly transportable and ruggedized, and have a graphical user interface that facilitates easy set-up and operation. The modularity and plug-and-play interfaces between all radio frequency (RF) and baseband configurations inherent in the SNAP product line result in communication solutions tailored to the end-user's specific needs.
