[Satellite TODAY 03-31-10] Norsat International has won a $1.7 million network service contract from a military based in Europe, the company announced March 30.
    Norsat said the unnamed military customer recently expanded its fleet of satellite terminals and will rely on Norsat’s dual-band SigmaLink flyaway systems to support their deployed forces. To support these remote operations, Norsat has installed several antennas from its OmegaLink line for hub operation in the field.
    “This new contract signals a deeper penetration of the European military market for both equipment and network management and also enhances our global positioning as a complete connectivity solutions provider,” Norsat President and CEO Amiee Chan said in a statement.
