DataPath And CENTCOM Communicate

DataPath, Inc. has been awarded 11.5M/USD to provide field services for a critical network of DataPath Deployable Ku-band Earth Terminals in the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility. These DKET systems are built and installed by DataPath and used by the U.S. military as critical satellite communications hubs that deliver high-bandwidth capabilities on the battlefield. Program Manager WIN-T‘s Commercial SATCOM Terminal Program at the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, made the 11.5M/USD in awards through the Worldwide Satellite Systems contract. The awards are options on a previously announced contract that has a potential value of more than 50M/USD with all options exercised over multiple years. Under the latest agreements, more than 80 DataPath field service representatives will provide operations and maintenance services on more than 30 DKET systems during the next year. DataPath has more than 170 personnel supporting the U.S. military in 60 locations and nine countries. In addition to the DKET network, they specialize in designing, installing and managing other critical communications networks for programs such as the U.S. Army’s Joint Network Node/WIN-T program and the U.S. Marine Corps’ Support Wide Area Network program—Duluth, Georgia
