The company helps its diverse customer base by protecting them from evolving cyber threats on their systems. It has a proven track record of delivering reliable, scalable and ruggedized solutions for government applications to support dynamic connectivity needs.

As part of the five-year single-award contract, the Melville, NY-based satellite communications provider reported that it has already received its first IDIQ delivery order for JCAC Training solutions worth $1.4 million.

Given exponential growth of cyber breach incidents, the federal government has been making every possible effort to boost its cyber workforce for maintaining national security.

It offers services to consolidate networks, servers, gateways and intelligent peripherals as well as provides transmission responses to users.
