DataPath Wins US Army Contract for COTM Solution
Posted on: Friday, 14 November 2008, 15:00 CST
DataPath, a US-based provider of satellite and wireless communications networks, has received delivery order to manufacture and deploy a satellite communications on-the-move solution for the US Army forces in Iraq.
According to the company, the order initially includes a satellite communications (SATCOM) hub earth terminal and two satellite communications on-the-move (COTM) systems that will be installed on the US Army mine resistant ambush protected vehicles.
With all options exercised, work under this agreement could total up to $3.9 million, including the initial COTM systems, the hub earth terminal and options for additional systems. The DataPath COTM solution for the US Army includes a low-profile antenna that can enable SATCOM connectivity at vehicle speeds of 80 miles per hour or more.
In addition to systems included in the delivery order, DataPath will provide its MobiLink system for testing as an integral part of the COTM solution.
Steve Lindeman, vice president of business operations at DataPath, said: "DataPath works closely with the US military to enable this capability with cost-effective, practical solutions that leverage the latest technology innovations. This includes DataPath MobiLink, which will be tested in-theater with this initiative to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated, on-the-move SATCOM and LMR network."
