Harris Corp. Receives Order for US Navy Satellite Terminals

摘要

Harris Corp. has received a follow-on $10.7 M order from the US Navy for 23 shipboard terminals that will provide personnel onboard frigates, access to the Internet, video and other high-speed, broadband services. These capabilities will help sailors stay better connected to their families and allow them to easily handle routine activities online.rnThe terminals are part of the potential $77 M Commercial Broadband Satellite Program (CBSP) Unit Level Variant (ULV) contract awarded to Harris in 2008. Awards-to-date under the five-year Indefinite Delivery/IndefiniternQuantity contract total $28.2 M. Through this follow-on order, Harris is supplying the Navy with 1.3-meter satellite communications terminals that offer both X-and Ku-band capabilities and support 10 times the bandwidth now accessible onboard Navy ships.
