Proactive Communications Inc. (PCI) signed a $2 million contract negotiation with Australian-based operator NewSat to provide a unified communications solution to customers in Afghanistan.
    The three-year deal will expand PCI’s satellite coverage across Southwest Asia and North Africa. PCI said the contract was driven by difficulties in securing satellite bandwidth in these regions, turning to Australia as a solution.
    PCI expects to be able to offer full voice, video, data and collaboration capabilities in its 2009 first quarter.
