TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a leading
provider of mission-critical wireless communications, today
announced that it has received a $3.5 million subcontract order for
critical spare parts to support the U.S. Marine Corps' investment
in Wireless Point-to-Point Link (WPPL) systems from TCS. WPPL
systems provide deployed Marines with point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint secure transmission of voice, video and data
communications over terrestrial microwave radio links.
Under this award, TCS will provide back-up components and spare
parts for the U.S. Marine Corps' current WPPL systems including
radios, antennas, network gear, laptops and masts. The TCS WPPL
provides Marines deployed in remote areas of the world with
critical last-mile communications and allows them to extend their
Local Area Network (LAN) to forward-deployed locations by extending
services over terrestrial microwave radio links. The TCS WPPL
allows for Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router (NIPR), Secret
Internet Protocol Router (SIPR), Voice over IP (VoIP), Video, and
Defense Switched Network transmission of vital information up to 30
miles point-to-point or 15 miles point-to-multipoint.
"While in the theater of Operations, our troops need to be
prepared for just about any scenario and that includes having
communications components readily available," said Michael Bristol,
senior vice president of government solutions for TCS. "Since the
number of WPPL systems fielded to date has grown tremendously, the
need for critical items located in a centralized Depot Center will
ensure Marines have easily accessible parts at their
fingertips."

in 1987. Today, TCS provides engineering, management, and
