TCS Awarded $7.8 Million in Contracts to Provide Fixed Satellite Terminal Sites
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a leading provider of mission-critical wireless communications, today announced that it has been awarded orders valued at more than $7.8 million to provide fixed satellite terminal sites and managed bandwidth services utilizing the TCS teleport over 16 months beginning December 2008 to support U.S. government personnel.
The network, scheduled to be fully operational by the end of this year, will provide voice, video and data services in remote areas that lack terrestrial communications services. Previously, TCS has built networks around the world to support government agencies in southwest Asia, Africa and in South America, as well as the largest private VSAT network in the Asia Pacific region for one of the two largest U.S. banking organizations.
"We are proud to provide highly critical communications services to our deployed men and women," said Michael Bristol, Senior Vice President of TCS' Government Solutions Group. "TCS has a proven track record in providing the military and other government organizations with highly reliable managed satellite bandwidth services to ensure that they can safely accomplish their ongoing missions."
TCS' Government Solutions Group began with the company's founding in 1987 as a government systems integrator. Today it is a leading provider of fixed and deployable communications solutions for government customers and mobile operators requiring high reliability and security, including the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, Unified Combatant Commands, U.S. Secret Service (USSS), and various U.S. intelligence agencies. As a result of its extensive R&D effort, TCS has developed a suite of products under the SwiftLink® brand, designed for highly reliable, on-the-quick-halt and on-the-move secure communications for the DoD and other federal agencies. TCS' deployable communications systems and fixed site earth stations enable communications to some of the world's most hostile and remote locations.
