DULUTH, Ga., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ — DataPath, Inc., a leading provider of satellite and wireless communications networks around the world, has been awarded $3.2 million to upgrade DataPath Deployable Ku Band Earth Terminals in the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility in Southwest Asia.

We’re proud to work side-by-side with U.S. warfighters to ensure this capability is robust and reliable.”

Program Manager WIN-T’s Commercial SATCOM Terminal Program at the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, N.J. made the award under the Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs).
