SOUTH
CAROLINA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
EXTENDS CONTRACT WITH OuterLink CORPORATION
Lowell,
MA – October 30, 2007
Adds
satellite services and logistics
support for ongoing testing
and evaluation
OuterLink
Corporation, a satellite-based
mobile asset management solutions
provider, today announced
an extension to a previously
awarded contract by the South
Carolina Army National Guard
(SCARNG). The revised contract
exercises an option for additional
satellite services and logistics
support for ongoing test and
evaluation activities. Also,
SCARNG opted to extend warranties
on previously delivered satellite
terminals.
This
year, the South Carolina Army
National Guard began testing
the OuterLink solution’s ability
to support the operational
requirements for secure communications
and real-time management of
mobile assets across multiple
agencies including the Department
of Homeland Security and federal
and state safety agencies.
The program has, to date,
successfully demonstrated
the capabilities of OuterLink's
mobile asset management solution
to communicate with helicopter
and ground vehicle fleets.
This was highlighted during
the June 2007 Palmetto Thunder
National Guard operational
exercise.
Under
the original contract awarded
in June 2006, OuterLink delivered
its satellite-based mobile
asset management solution;
integrated it into existing
National Guard equipment,
tested the newly integrated
solution and provided logistical
support. This recent contract
extension supports expanded
and ongoing testing and evaluation
moving into 2008.
“OuterLink
mobile asset management solutions
continue to demonstrate an
ability to enable quick and
effective emergency readiness
and response,” said Andrew
Joseph, CEO of OuterLink Corporation.
“Agencies nationwide are evaluating
OuterLink software as a key
command and control tool that
centralizes the location tracking
of and communication with
both civil and military vehicles.
SCARNG has experienced the
benefits of OuterLink and
we are delighted to support
them as they continue to drive
OuterLink deeper into their
multi-agency emergency response
strategies.”
