Duluth, Ga. – March 24, 2008 – DataPath, Inc., a leading provider of satellite and wireless communications networks around the world, has been awarded $6.6 million to continue resets, repairs and upgrades to DataPath Satellite Transportable Terminals (STTs) and Unit Hub SATCOM Trucks (UHSTs) used in the U.S. Army's Joint Network Node (JNN)/ Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) program. This delivery order is part of a previously announced four-year contract with the Army that has a potential value of up to $270 million for the company.

DataPath engineers and field technical experts will perform the work at DataPath's facilities as well as at various Army locations.

"Under this reset contract, we continue to work closely with the Army to enhance the deployed SATCOM terminals that enable high-bandwidth communications out to forward-operating bases in theater."
