U.S. Army, DataPath Link Up for Satellite Network Support

Dawn S. Onley writes on GCN.com:

The Army Communications-Electronics Command in Fort Monmouth, N.J., has awarded a $72.9 million contract to DataPath Inc. of Duluth, Ga., to continue supporting its Joint Network Node program.

DataPath will deliver 92 portable satellite Earth terminals and provide support services as part of the JNN initiative. The contract includes the 92 DataPath ET 3000 Portables, which the Army calls satellite communications transportable terminals, and two DataPath DKET 4530Ku Mobiles, known by Army officials as unit hub SATCOM trucks.

Last fall, CECOM ordered 157 of the terminals from DataPath under a $96 million contract.
