DataPath(R) to Deploy Dual-Antenna DKET Satellite Hubs for U.S. CENTCOM and U.S. Marine Corps

DULUTH, Ga., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ — DataPath, Inc., a leading provider of
satellite and wireless communications networks around the world, has been
awarded $3.3 million in two delivery orders to manufacture and install
dual-antenna DataPath(R) DKET satellite communications (SATCOM) hubs in
support of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and the U.S. Marine Corps in
Southwest Asia. The U.S. military uses an extensive network of DataPath DKETs
as communications hubs that deliver high-bandwidth voice, video and data
connectivity on the battlefield. Under the delivery orders, DataPath will
provide two dual-antenna DKETs, one of which will be configured for operation
in Ka band to utilize the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) system when operational
needs require it.

“DataPath DKETs are a critical element of the Department of Defense’s
SATCOM backbone in Southwest Asia,” said Steve Lindeman, vice president of
Business Operations at DataPath. “We are working closely with the military to
ensure that the next generation of earth terminals is configured for use with
the WGS constellation, which provides critical space segment availability and
increased bandwidth throughput in support of operational requirements.”

DataPath has worked with the U.S. military since 1998 to build the DKET
network, which features more than 75 terminals. The DataPath DKET is a highly
transportable, self-contained earth terminal that establishes
headquarters-level network connectivity anywhere the mission demands. DKET
systems feature MaxView(R) network management software and are supported by
DataPath’s experienced field services personnel that work side by side with
deployed warfighters.

Program Manager WIN-T’s Commercial SATCOM Terminal Program (CSTP) at the
U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, N.J., made the
awards through the CSTP Blanket Purchase Agreement contract.
