awarded $1.9 million to continue providing field services for DataPath
Deployable Ku Band Earth Terminals (DKETs) at a key communications hub in

deployed in the thick of things to make sure vital U.S. military
communications operate reliably."

locations and nine countries. In addition to supporting the DKET network,
DataPath field personnel specialize in designing, installing and managing
other critical communications network programs such as the Defense Information
Systems Agency's teleport network, the U.S. Army's Joint Network Node
(JNN)/Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) program, and the U.S.
Marine Corps' Support Wide Area Network (SWAN) program.
