Satlynx, a GE company and a provider of satellite telecommunications, has announced a 6.7 million euros business agreement with the Polish Government via its military systems partner WZL (Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1) to provide a range of satellite equipment.

In addition, Satlynx and GE have entered an Offset Agreement with the Polish Ministry of Economic Affairs as a commitment to invest in Polish business, goods, and services to a value of 17 million euros over the next five years. Satlynx and WZL have been cooperating on a number of different initiatives for some years and this recent contract for satellite antenna equipment and services is a significant milestone in their relationship. The Offset Agreement details a series of investments from both Satlynx and other GE businesses designed to bring technology, know-how, and growth to the Polish economy. Leslaw Kuzaj, GE’s National Executive for Poland said, "The agreement focuses on strategic areas such as technology transfer, purchase of equipment for the satellite and oil & gas industries, as well as providing projects from investment in modernization. With our industrial business units, we intend to work closely with the Polish government to maximise the benefits to the Polish economy well beyond the lifetime of the offset agreement."
