Vizada has won a contract with service provider Delta Wave Communications Inc. to supply the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) with Inmarsat and Iridium mobile satcoms services in the US and overseas.  The deal is worth up to $3 million dollars per year over a three-year period.

The USACE provides engineering and infrastructure services including the planning, design and building of water resources (navigation, flood control, disaster response, etc.), as well as the construction of military facilities for the Army and Air Force and Defense and Federal agencies.

In recent years, USACE engineers have been deployed to aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, as well as to assist the US Military on infrastructure projects in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Vizada and Delta Wave will provide BGAN and Iridium mobile satellite terminals, as well as technical expertise, 24-hour customer support and a customized billing system. The combined service will meet a number of different requirements on USACE remote missions:

• Increased security through rapid access to a voice service anywhere in the world;
• Smooth-running of operations through constant contact between HQ and teams in the field;
• Greater autonomy for remote employees through broadband data connections; 
• Improved morale among remote or overseas-based engineers through private communications solutions.
