...wholly owned subsidiary, Global Telesat Corp. ("GTC"), has been awarded a new contract to supply the U.S. Navy with mobile satellite equipment. The contract calls on GTC's near-decade experience in providing government customers with mobile satellite solutions, including satellite voice, data and tracking solutions. The recently awarded contract is for GTC to supply to the Navy specialized equipment capable of providing high speed data communications by satellite anywhere on the planet. The equipment to be provided under the contract allows teams access to office-based applications like email, internet or VPN access, as well as other applications that require more bandwidth such as videoconferencing or live broadcasting, in remote areas where no other forms of communications exist.
WSGI's President and CEO, Glenn D. Estrella, said, "We are delighted to have been awarded this contract by the U.S. Navy for GTC's specialized mobile satellite equipment and look forward to broadening our relationship with the Navy. We are encouraged by the near-term results of our strategy to accelerate our sales and marketing efforts for our GTC business unit, and we see the potential for significant growth based on the level of interest we are receiving from both U.S. Government and commercial customers. We intend to continue to execute our strategy to ultimately garner a larger share of the multi-billion dollar satellite communications market."
