The initial funding release of $1 million is to cover initial procurement activities. The full contract award is expected by the end of August and will have a value in excess of $5 million. Work on the contract will be carried out at the company's facility in Cambridge, Ontario with completion expected by July 2014.

The components will be used on a high-power communications satellite that will be added to an existing constellation as a result of significant growth in digital communication demand in the region covered.
