Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft and

Thyssen Nordseewerke, has recently placed an order with the Mannheim company for delivery of 16 genera- tor sets, four for each frigate.

The total order value amounts to some DM 14 million (about $7.7 million). The first package of gen- erator sets is scheduled for delivery early in 1992, the last package in

March 1994.

The encapsulated Deutz MWM sets with double-resilient mounting are being supplied within a power range from 750 to 1,000 kw. They have been developed to meet mili- tary demands in respect to power output, response to load changes under extreme impact loads and suppression of air- and structure- borne sound

COMSAT Expands

Coverage With

Turkish Agreement

As part of an effort to provide global coverage for maritime and land mobile communications ser- vices, the Communications Satel- lite Corporation (COMSAT) has en- tered into an agreement with the

Republic of Turkey to expand the

Inmarsat coast earth station at Ata,

Turkey, for COMSAT coverage in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The agreement was signed in Washing- ton, D.C., by COMSAT chairman and CEO Irving Goldstein and M.

Emin Baser, general director and chairman of the Turkish PTT.

The new Ata facilities, which will be operated and maintained by the

Turkish PTT, are scheduled to be in service by early 1992 and will en- able COMSAT's Mobile Communi- cations division to provide satellite communications services directly to and from Inmarsat A-equipped ships and land mobile terminals.

COMSAT currently serves both the Atlantic Ocean Regions and Pa- cific Ocean Region through its U.S. coast earth stations in Southbury,

Conn., and Santa Paula, Calif. The new IOR arrangements will enable

COMSAT to provide global cover- age in all ocean regions from its own facilities for the first time. "With this agreement, we now will be able to provide our customers one-stop shopping for their commu- nications needs," said Ronald J.

Mario, president of COMSAT Mo- bile Communications. "By early 1992, our customers will be able to obtain the same high quality ser- vices in the Indian Ocean Region that they are used to receiving in the

Atlantic and Pacific. This is a logi- cal move for us, as the IOR now is the source of the highest voice traf- fic growth in the Inmarsat system," continued Mr. Mario.
