ViaSat
Inc. will be producing more than $11 million worth of satellite
communications equipment for the US Department of Defense. The
equipment will be used to generate interoperable network services for
American warfighters all around the world.
The
DoD placed a number of production contracts with ViaSat for the
Company's Joint IP Modem Network Control Centers (NCCs) and remote
modems. They have also tasked ViaSat with additional development of
the Joint IP Modem technology to increase its global network
footprint and improve the efficienty of its regional connectivity.
The
DoD's Joint IP Modem program intends to engender interoperability
between warfighters and service networks, to utilize satellite bandwidth
more efficiently, and finally to seamlessly unite disparate networks
and technologies.
The
interoperable satellite communications network will leverage
teleports and Strategic Tactical Entry Points (STEPs) for fast and
secure SATCOM services.
