After Successful In-Theater Tests of MobiLink Technologies for COTM,U.S. Army Unit Orders More Systems for Use in MRAP Vehicles

Duluth, Ga. – April 7, 2009 – DataPath, Inc., a leading provider of satellite and wireless communications networks around the world, is providing MobiLink™ Technologies communications on-the-move (COTM) systems to a deployed U.S. Army unit in support of battlefield operations. The MobiLink Technologies COTM system from DataPath was successfully tested in Iraq in late 2008 and early 2009 and is now an operational system that quickly installs in Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. Eight additional COTM systems as well as field technical support and other services have been procured through exercised options under an existing delivery order. The COTM systems are expected to be deployed within weeks.

“DataPath’s MobiLink COTM systems have been rapidly delivered and successfully tested, and they are now operational on the battlefield,” said Steve Lindeman, vice president of Business Operations at DataPath. “The driving concern of this effort by the Army is improving situational awareness and mission effectiveness of forward-deployed warfighters. With the technology to provide COTM capabilities available immediately at a reasonable cost, military commanders are moving now to get COTM into the hands of their forces.”

While on long convoys and operations in Iraq, MRAPs with MobiLink COTM systems are enabled with broadband connectivity while traveling at high speeds. In the battlefield environment, the systems provide an unbroken satellite link on-the-move and operate without interference from military jammers. Commanders on the battlefield use the COTM systems to simultaneously receive live unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) video feeds and use voice over-IP, video teleconferencing, SIPRNet Web connectivity and other command and control applications. With these capabilities, forces in the field are able to create a robust local and over-the-horizon network that is reliable regardless of the terrain and the distance from a military base.

This particular version of MobiLink, the mSAT-C2V™ for command and control vehicles, features a very low-profile antenna that eliminates interference with other systems on a vehicle and ensures a command vehicle is not easily identifiable. The entire system can also be easily transferred from one vehicle to another, particularly if mounting apparatus is pre-installed in a number of vehicles. This provides exceptional flexibility so that the systems can be deployed in various types of vehicles and can be moved from a damaged or otherwise inoperable vehicle so that command and control communications are maintained. The systems can be deployed on a variety of platforms such as MRAP, HMMWV, Stryker, Bradley, and armored commercial SUV vehicles.
