STEVENAGE, June 16, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — Paradigm Secure Communications Ltd. has been awarded a contract by the Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) for the delivery of military communications services to the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND).
This agreement requires Paradigm to provide managed secure communications services to the Canadian Navy, on an as and required basis. Paradigm will also provide the use of modem equipment in the UK to support the service and the provision of a dedicated backhaul connection between UK and Canada.
This will allow the Canadian Military direct access to secure, survivable satellite communications, which will enhance their communications capability in remote areas, facilitate their role in NATO and national operations, and allow cost-effective management of these resources.
Paradigm, a subsidiary of EADS Space Services, provides military X-band services and the only company able to offer X-band communications on hardened and protected satellites that are compliant to NATO standards.
Paradigm said it is able to offer this unique service to export customers as a result of the signing of the groundbreaking Skynet 5 Private Finance Initiative contract with the UK Ministry of Defence in October 2003. In May 2003, Paradigm took over operations of the entire UK MOD satellite communications (satcom) network, and is today meeting all the UK Armed Forces’ satcoms requirements through a comprehensive managed service approach.
