TeleCommunication Systems TSYS, a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile communication technology, today announced that it has received $18 million in funded orders for 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. The U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network - Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program is funding this procurement through the Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle. "It's imperative for our military to have secure, easily deployable and dependable satellite communications systems and the knowledgeable support to ensure uninterrupted operations," said Michael Bristol, senior vice president and general manager of government solutions for TCS. "With the dedicated support of TCS' experienced field service personnel, our brave warriors can rely on the satellite systems they need to achieve mission success." 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.
