WPPL Order Includes Spare Parts, Field Support Representatives and Extended MaintenanceANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwire - 12/28/09) - TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ:TSYS - News), a leading provider of mission-critical wireless communications, today announced that it has been awarded an additional $8 million in funding from the U.S. Marine Corps for the TCS Wireless Point-to-Point Link (WPPL) systems. WPPL systems provide deployed Marines with secure point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmission of voice, video and data communications over terrestrial microwave radio links. Under this award, TCS will provide field support representatives and extended maintenance warranty support. In addition, TCS will supply spare parts for the RF and Network packages of the WPPL systems, including sector and directional antennas, modems, routers, router cards and router modules.
The TCS WPPL provides Marines with critical last-mile communications and allows them to extend their Local Area Network (LAN) to forward-deployed locations by extending services over terrestrial microwave radio links. It enables Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router (NIPR), Secret Internet Protocol Router (SIPR), Voice over IP (VoIP), Video and Defense Switched Network transmission of vital information.
This order was awarded by the Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program (CSTP) and through the U.S. Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle.
"Our WPPL system has proven to be a workhorse in-theater," said Michael Bristol, senior vice president of government solutions for TCS. "We continue to field these systems on a regular basis and support the forward-deployed warfighter with critical last-mile communications capability."
The TCS SwiftLink(R) family of deployable communications solutions provides multimedia capabilities to convey encrypted voice, video and data. TCS SwiftLink products are highly transportable and ruggedized, with a graphical user interface that facilitates easy set-up and operation. The modularity and "plug and play" interfaces between all RF and Baseband configurations inherent in the SwiftLink product line result in communication solutions tailored to the end-user's specific needs.
TCS has established a proven track record over the past decade of providing cost effective, highly reliable solutions to the Department of Defense, Special Operations and intelligence communities, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State. The TCS SwiftLink product line meets the critical communications demands of this elite customer set, no matter where or how they deploy.
