CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (June 1, 2009) – Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL) has completed the acquisition of DataPath, Inc., a global leader in creating satellite-based communication networks.

Under the terms of the agreement, Rockwell Collins has acquired all outstanding shares of DataPath in a cash transaction worth approximately $130 million.
