This increment of SNAP funding is for TCS' highly reliable SwiftLink® deployable communications products. The U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program (CSTP) is funding these procurements through the Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS) contract vehicle. The SNAP program includes options for approximately 1,500 terminals and supporting equipment for delivery by the third quarter of 2011, to be deployed in various sizes and configurations over the next few years, along with up to 30 field support personnel. "TCS is cognizant of the need for a rapidly deployable communications infrastructure to support effective governance in the remote areas of Afghanistan," said Michael Bristol, senior vice president of government solutions for TCS. "We are confident that these SNAP systems will fully meet USFOR-A's need for robust and reliable communications in forward-deployed locations." The TCS SwiftLink VSAT systems used to fulfill SNAP program requirements provide multimedia communications capabilities which convey encrypted voice, video and data. TCS SwiftLink products are highly transportable and ruggedized, with a graphical user interface that facilitates easy set-up and operation. The modularity and "plug and play" interfaces among all SwiftLink RF and Baseband configurations enable easy specification of communication solutions tailored to the end-user's specific needs. TCS has established a proven track record over the past decade of providing cost effective, highly reliable solutions to the Department of Defense, Special Operations and intelligence communities, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State. The TCS SwiftLink product line meets the critical communications demands of this elite customer set, no matter where or how they deploy.
